Security

Security work for the people who configure and defend Microsoft and Azure environments. Posts cover identity hardening in Entra, Conditional Access design and gap analysis, passkeys and break-glass accounts, privileged access with PIM, Zero Trust networking, Defender XDR and Sentinel, and Purview data protection. Threat-focused articles analyse real incidents, such as Teams helpdesk impersonation, ASCII smuggling, service account weaknesses and AI-assisted intrusions, then translate them into controls and checks you can apply the same day. Patch Tuesday triage and emergency-patch posts help you decide what to fix first. Start with Conditional Access Gap Analysis, Entra ID Privileged Identity Management, and Teams Helpdesk Impersonation.
