Another blog to help expand Security Knowledge
Overview In one of my last posts, I talked about the differences between Microsoft Sentinel workbooks and PowerBI. In this post, the first of however many I decide to write, we will look at converting the Security Operations Efficiency workbook into PowerBI. Why this workbook? There are a few reasons. It has different steps in […]
Introduction I’m sure anyone who has using Microsoft Sentinel for any length of time has used the workbooks feature. While this is technically an Azure Monitor feature, we use them with Microsoft Sentinel as well. They are great but may not work for everyone. Another choice is Microsoft’s PowerBI reporting tool. This blog post will […]
Introduction How many of you have come across a customer that says something along the lines of “We have this great program that we want you to interact with, but it has no API to access”. Maybe it is old, or maybe it was written in-house and adding an API was not considered a requirement. […]
Introduction Update: Microsoft Sentinel now has the ability to trigger a playbook when an incident has been updated so this blog post is obsolete! 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 […]

That is great, but what if you are a CISO and you don’t want to have to go through all […]
“Microsoft Sentinel in Action” has been released! Technically it is the second edition of “Learn Azure Sentinel” but with all the changed that have occurred between the two books, it was almost a complete rewrite (of the technical sections at least). Check it out on Amazon: Amazon.com: Microsoft Sentinel in Action: Architect, design, implement, and […]
You may have noticed a new blog post about a new SOC Process Framework workbook (What’s New: Azure Sentinel – SOC Process Framework Workbook – Microsoft Tech Community). But what does really mean? First, the workbook is very awesome. It provides a great framework for setting up your own SOC processes. It was meant to […]
While working on the videos for my series on how to work with Azure workbooks, I have run into a few places where you can access another workbook but you need to know the workbook’s ID. This is not easy to do as there is button anywhere that can provide this information (I am going […]
I am starting a new series on Azure workbooks. The first video is up on YouTube covering an introduction to Azure Workbooks. The videos in the series (that I have planned so far) are Overview Groups Text Parameters Links/Tabs Query Metrics There may be more since Query, for instance, has a LOT to talk about.
