Microsoft is evolving from product-based to role-based training and certifications focused on industry-recognized skill sets to help prepare individuals for roles in an ever-changing tech environment. Such new certifications are designed to offer career-oriented credentials that are specifically designed to fit well with existing job roles.

Consider cloud IT roles as an example if you're wondering why this evolution is so important. These role-based training & certification offerings are important because the cloud is moving more and more businesses and organizations. This move places the growth of task specialization at the center of attention and brings a major skill gap to light. Although 70% of CIOs have a "cloud-first approach" and 85% of companies want to adopt cloud technology, only 16% of enterprises have the necessary skills and processes.

While these new ' role-based certifications ' of course do not replace the existing specialist certifications from Microsoft, they offer an exciting new opportunity to become Microsoft certified in comprehensive skills and knowledge for your specific job role.

Microsoft Azure security engineers who implement security controls, maintain the security posture, manage identity and access, and protect data, applications, and networks. Candidates identify and remediate vulnerabilities by using a variety of security tools, implement threat protection, and respond to security incident escalations.

These engineers should have at least one year of hands-on experience securing Azure workloads,  security controls, and Azure administration.
