The SC-900 Study Notes introduce foundational cybersecurity concepts such as the Shared Responsibility Model, Zero Trust architecture, identity and access management with Azure AD, and cloud-native security operations using Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Sentinel.

The Microsoft Cyber Security Analyst Study guide simplifies complex authorization models like RBAC and ABAC, explains modern networking fundamentals, and connects them directly to cloud security architecture.

It also delivers structured insight into compliance standards such as ISO/IEC 27001, data protection strategies, governance models, and the expanding role of AI in cybersecurity operations.

With built-in quizzes, terminology breakdowns, scenario-driven explanations, and mock exam simulations, these SC-900 Study Notes are designed for long-term understanding not short-term memorization.

What about the notes updates?

if you have been watching my YouTube Channel, you definitely know that those who subscribe to the second tier of my channel membership they instantly get access to a vast catalog of cybersecurity, penetration testing, digital marketing, system administration and data analytics notes catalog for 10$ along with the ability to receive all notes updates as long as they are subscribed so what does that mean?

This means if you want to stay up to date with the changes and updates to the notes and get access to other categories, I encourage to join the channel membership second tier instead. However, if you are fine with downloading the current version of this section of the notes then you can buy this booklet instead for a one-time payment.

Will the prices of this booklet change in the future?

Once another version of this booklet is released, which it will, the price will slightly change as the booklet will include more contents, notes and illustrations.
