Nueva certificación Azure

Navegando por la pagina de Pearson Vue he localizado un nuevo examen de certificación que tiene la nomenclatura:

AZ-500: Microsoft Azure Security Technologies.

ACTUALIZACIÓN 06/03/2019.

Todo apunta a una nueva certificación basada en roles centrada en la securización de Azure y sus servicios asociados.

Todavía desconozco si este examen completa una ruta como así hace el examen MS-500: Microsoft 365 Security Administration en el entorno de Microsoft 365, que permite conseguir la certificación Microsoft 365 Certified Security Administrator Associate.

El examen ya aparece visible en la pagina de Pearson Vue y tienen como fecha de programación inicial el próximo día 27 de Febrero de 2019.

De momento no he localizado mas información al respecto del contenido del examen o de los recursos disponibles de formación. Entiendo que los irán publicando en las próximas semanas.

ACTUALIZACIÓN 06/03/2019.

El examen ya no se encuentra disponible de la pagina de Pearson VUE, pero hoy esta activa la pagina de examen en el sitio de Microsoft.
