@merill.net @nathanmcnulty.com Do either of you have the contacts within @microsoft.com to get this reversed?
It's an abomination now...if licenses are not assigning, I got to go through them 1 by 1, checking the groups, checking conflicts... I feel like I need 2-3 Admin portal windows open!

I like deploying @microsoft.com Defender for External Attack Surface Management (EASM) as an external observation layer for the clients I manage.
Originally a very reasonable cost, I noticed that the costs appeared to have trippled over the last couple of months:

My plan is to unwind over the remainder of the Christmas holiday by making an effort to reduce the bedside pile of books (which “magically” grew again).

While I would love my clients to go with Passkeys, I still struggle in two areas:
- a useful set of CA policies to allow passkey registration on BYOD mobile devices for remote workers
- the windows interface is still a bit of a dogs breakfast if you have Fido/whfb/multiple accounts.

Can anyone point to any cybersecurity awareness training materials or courses that they felt "hit home" with general users?
I am in the process of updating my offers, but to date, I feel it is just ticking a box; I have twice had people fall for scams within a week of them undertaking training.

I got stung on an @microsoftazure.bsky.social #LogicApps charge - simple app runs on-prem SQL stored procedure and writes output to file, every two minutes.
No premium connectors, €60/day.
Ouch!
And what is "Consumption Data Retention" which is causing most of the issue?

I am firmly of the opinion that no e-voting can ever be secure enough.
And yes, it does help that transfers are an event in themselves.

#LogicApp help! I have an important business workflow using Azure Document Intelligence, and for the last while that step is corrupting; the only way I can fix is to put in a similar step, and remove the corrupt one. No changes made to AI resource or the workflow.
Any ideas?

I have been on @bsky.app for quite some time, but interacted rarely as there wasn’t a community. Over the last week or so, that appears to be changing rapidly, and the lack of targeted nonsense so so refreshing.

I have an ask from one client, and a requirement from another to "encrypt" their internet / SaaS traffic. This is to protect users operating in... unusual locations.
Anyone have a good guide / good experience using @cloudflare.social #ZeroTrust for this, and integration with Intune/M365?
