In this episode we have 2 experts from Microsoft, Corissa Koopmans, and 3rd time returning guest Mark Morowczynski, to tell us about the important work that’s been done to help organizations understand their data and detect Azure AD attacks. We cover log sources, the new Microsoft security operations guide, standardized dashboards and visualizations you can leverage to jump right in with best practice, and much more.
