In an era where technology is central to business operations and innovation, the cloud emerged as a strategic enabler ,

Foundations Laid Correctly #

As for a typical public education path.

Yahya is now eighteen and deeply considered that he needs to pass high school.

He made a deal with a neighbor, Yassine, who happens to be studying the same major but at a different school to get serious.

He was exact here while Yassine was there.

They had to be making up for previous shortcomings by intensifying efforts.

A very worth it handle considering the - Let's Just Pass - all the years behind.

Yassine was there when Yahya needed a companion for focused work. The isolation was challenging, but they supported each other and their consistent collaboration turned weakness into strength. It's most likely that Yahya wouldn't have had the chance to make it through that year without their partnership.

They played catch-up and managed to get the bac.

Tunisia is Francophone;
French is a secondary language and even primary in some government authorities.

Tunisia was a French protectorate from 1881 to 1956 and became deeply integrated into the society across administration, education, and business.

In the fourth year of high school,
All tunisians sit like them for the national examination.

A fortunate step ahead.
"Happened to work out" with another great character truly leading the way.

During that year Yahya needed to improve his math skills, recognizing that they were crucial for developing critical thinking abilities essential for life but also you technically can not pass without it.

This realization came largely thanks to a teacher.

A hero who inspired Yahya and showed him the path forward.

Bechir was a driving force behind Yahya's progress, leaving a profound and lasting mark on the author and potential save from a completely different route.

Before my Bac, I had little to no knowledge of mathematics and understood almost nothing. I did not have much hope until I was introduced to Mr. Béchir Mahdaoui. Mr. Mahdaoui went through every detail and built on fundamental concepts. Thanks to this, I was able to progress in mathematics. Bechir transformed me – not only in this subject, but in many other aspects as well, making me take seriously many small things that add up in impressive ways. By the time of the national exams, mathematics and I were great friends, and I passed my Bac with his help.

Yahya then desired to pursue studies in computers by any given means possible.

His score wasn’t enough to get him into a bachelor's program in computer engineering or computer science in the capital city, Tunis.

Yahya managed to describe and extract official and sensitive documents from the government regarding his desperate situation, including his family's collective low income and the challenging conditions he faced head-on. He compiled all of those along with a cover letter and applied to several colleges around the zone with his desired pursuits, persuading them to admit him.

And that is how he "somehow" got into ISTIC.

Béchir’s impact during my university years was significant and continues after I passed my Bac Tech. Mathematics played a crucial role in my first year of a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Systems Engineering and later in that 2nd year of probability & Statistics. Thanks to his influence, I was able to graduate and improve further. Béchir is not just about mathematics. His presence, his methodologies, and the way he instills a sense of possibility in his students are exceptional. Thank you for playing a significant role in my transformation.

Once enrolled in college, Yahya later was able to and applied for a public university scholarship as he met the conditions which is being part of a FREE & public Tunisian university, with family income below a specific threshold as mentioned in link herein and achieving a yearly required average for the remaining years renewal.

At this humble point, Life actually got better.

Yahya quickly realized that university is truly nice.

It definitely teaches you a lot.
We, however , need to collect something else along the way.

- At 18 - I barely thought I could pass high school.



- At 19 - I couldn’t afford to buy food.

- At 20 - I deep dived into Azure hopeless.

- At 21 - I got a tech remote job from Africa.

- At 22 - I landed on Qatar for an on-site job.

- At 23 - I am writing this for you to accelerate.

I learned about the opportunity from Nebrass Lamouchi, a Tunisian guy doing Java at Microsoft. Though Nebrass and I weren’t friends (and will never be), I had a closer bond with dear Houssem Dellai who is also Tunisian.

Houssem reposted it on his wall, which is (how) in some way I came across it.

The impact was even greater because we all share the same origins and would soon set in motion a series of events that would alter the course of my entire life.

Yahya now is surpassing the legal age¹⁸ by one as he finished high school and enrolled in univeristy and, then another as he concluded his init year, he embarked on a journey to establish a solid foundation for the future.

During this time, he sought to both prepare and challenge his potential by undertaking those series of Microsoft exams.

Actually sequentially speaking, the Power Platform was on the fourth line before he leveled up to the associate and earned the Azure Admin.

Those triumphs served as the catalyst he needed to gain momentum.

Have a look over the list of some exams he passed in numerical order.

Those stepping stones on this journey, each one propelling him forward, reinforced his determination.

As he progressed, he found himself increasingly addicted to the pursuit of personal growth through the boundless realm of the cloud.

Today, he proudly possess all the fundamental exams offered by Microsoft, achieved through rigorous study and focused practice.

Charting Course To Cybersecurity #

This pursuit became a driving force, compelling him to aim higher, attain, and unlock more goals.

He recognized the need for cyber awareness, equipping himself with the knowledge necessary to ensure a secure existence for both himself and everyone around him in the digital world.

The fascination with this subject initially emerged during his college years.

He wasn't attending much classes but he liked network and security.

He spent two years extensively involved in networking, culminating in a focus on encryption and algorithm in security.

During time that he acquired knowledge about the CIA triad, a fundamental security concept that he found both intriguing and highly valuable.

That's precisely why he aspired and meticulously planned, pursuing advanced associate and expert certifications.

These certifications typically require a commitment of two to five years of specialized technical experience to qualify.

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that he proudly acquired this level of expertise within one year of real works.

At the moment, he find himself in a heightened state of consciousness and a profound sense of purpose.

He is propelled forward, driven by an insatiable appetite for knowledge and personal growth.

This relentless pursuit has led him to set his sights on further examinations and challenges, with over 1000 cloud assessments and 31 valid certifications spanning the three major cloud providers: Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, and Azure.

The Make-or-Break #

As the daunting shadows of the project loomed large and at a crossroads, Yahya was challenged not just by the task at hand but also by the very essence of his role in cybersecurity.

— This Specific Exam's Impact —

Within this crucible of uncertainty that he confronted the SC-200 exam, the key to unlocking his project's full potential.

The exam requires understanding with the following along Microsoft SIEM:

• Microsoft Defender for Cloud: A cloud security solution protecting resources and services in platforms like Azure, offering real-time threat protection, security posture management, and advanced analytics.
• Microsoft 365 Defender: A unified security platform for Microsoft 365 services, including Exchange, SharePoint, and Teams, providing integrated threat protection, automated security responses, and threat investigation.
• Third-party security solutions: External security solutions developed by third-party vendors, complementing Microsoft's own security offerings and essential for comprehensive security coverage.

This process is like a cryptic code, decipherable only by those who have undergone rigorous preparation and endured the trials of the SC-200 exam, emphasizing its importance from his perspective.

That is a brief of some of it and while many things are very hard to put into words, those events, when looking back, definitely made the biggest difference.
