MS-500: Microsoft 365 Security Administration.
Microsoft Learn states MS-500 retired on June 30, 2023.
Microsoft 365 security administration, threat response, investigation, and data governance.
Review SC-200, SC-300, SC-401, or MS-102 depending on the required role outcome.
MS-500 can still explain older Microsoft 365 security administrator expectations, but it is not an active scheduling target. Any new prep plan should start by confirming the current credential required by the employer, school, or partner program.
Security operations candidates often need SC-200, identity candidates may need SC-300, information security and Purview candidates should review SC-401, and Microsoft 365 tenant administrators should review MS-102 requirements.
Older MS-500 materials may use outdated product names or domain splits. Current practice should use Microsoft Defender XDR, Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Purview, KQL, and tenant-level Microsoft 365 security workflows.
