The SC-200 is the frontline defender cert — built for the analysts who live inside Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, and the broader security operations center (SOC) toolchain. Security Operations Analysts investigate, respond to, and hunt for threats using Microsoft's integrated security portfolio. This cert unlocks the Threat Protection advanced specialization, which positions your partner organization as a go-to for managed detection and response (MDR) engagements. With the security talent shortage showing no signs of easing, SC-200-certified analysts command premium rates and are actively recruited by MSSPs, consulting firms, and enterprise IT teams alike. The $10,000/year incentive value makes this one of the highest-ROI certifications in the partner ecosystem. CERTIFY-Pro's 250 questions cover the full SOC analyst workflow — from alert triage through threat hunting with KQL queries to automated playbook response in Sentinel.
250 questions organized across 10 focused study days. Each day targets a specific exam domain with detailed explanations.
SC-200 covers 8 functional areas. Study time is weighted by topic importance to help you focus where it matters most.
