Jason Snoddy, Edafio Cloud Computing Engineer, received his Microsoft 365 Enterprise Administrators Expert certification earlier this month. Snoddy had to pass three different exams to achieve this high-level certification, which included performing M365 tenant management tasks for an enterprise and its identities and security. The course covered User password protection
- Multi-factor authentication
- How to enable Azure Identity Protection
- How to set up and use Azure AD Connect
“With the ever-evolving technology and cybersecurity landscape and an increase in security-related issues for businesses everywhere, we believe it is critical to maintaining the highest level of standards to achieve optimal outcomes for our clients. Jason’s Microsoft 365 certifications will provide them with the knowledge, assurance and security they deserve.”

Before passing this exam, Snoddy passed two other exams. He completed the Microsoft 365 Identity and Services verifying his working knowledge of Microsoft 365 workloads, networking, server admin and IT fundamentals and the Microsoft 365 Security Administration, which proactively secures Microsoft 365 enterprise environments, responds to threats, performs investigations, and enforces data governance.
With these certifications, Snoddy can collaborate with business stakeholders and other workload administrators to better plan and implement security strategies and ensure that the solutions comply with the policies and regulations of the organization.
“The certifications mean a tremendous amount to me because they are a tangible sign of how I continue to improve and refine my skillset throughout my career,”
