I’d like to share another achievement – I passed the Microsoft Applied Skills: Secure AI solutions in the cloud assessment, confirmed by my credential.

The assessment covers hands-on skills in:

  • configuring security for AI services in Microsoft Defender for Cloud – Defender CSPM, cloud workload protection plans, and security policies for AI solutions
  • configuring model guardrails and controls in Microsoft Foundry – content filters and blocklists
  • validating content filters
  • configuring security settings for a Microsoft Foundry environment – managing users and roles, setting up connected resources, and configuring diagnostic settings

Applied Skills assessments are based on interactive labs – instead of answering theory questions, you perform real tasks in an Azure environment. That makes them much closer to actual work than a traditional exam.
