Another blog to help expand Security Knowledge
Overview Back in the first post in this series, I mentioned that you can easily change how far back you can look to get information in your queries. This post will talk about PowerBI parameters that we will use to do this. Create a parameter Parameters are very easy to create. In left hand navigation […]
Overview This blog post will be slightly different than the ones I typically do as it is not technology driven. Rather this one will focus on describing a way of talking about security programs and the team that uses them. Security as a Car I was playing Forza Horizon 5 (very fun driving game) and […]
Overview So far in this series (if 3 posts can be considered a series), we have ingested data into PowerBI and created a basic report. We looked at some of the pitfalls that may happen when creating a table view. In this post, we will look at the tables themselves and how we can expand […]

If you are like me, you feel that one of the holes in Microsoft Sentinel is knowing when something changes. I am hoping that this changes soon (pun intended). In the […]
If you have read either version of my book, I sent you to a URL that uses the Azure Data Explorer to play around with the KQL queries. Rod Trent just posted a blog at Create and Maintain Your Own KQL Demo Environment with the New Start-for-free Cluster – Azure Cloud & AI Domain Blog […]
