Reminder: supporting the war in Ukraine is literally the most cost effective project the US military has ever undertaken. For a something like eight percent of the Pentagon’s annual budget, we have reduced the Russian military by something like half, a decades-long setback. Don’t let Russia win now.

I really wish Microsoft Defender Attack Simulation provided randomization options, both for delivery and campaign. I want to be able to spread out the campaign delivery over time and randomize what people get.

Strawman scenario for the weekend. What security controls would you want in place at your organization before you’d accept “coffee shop” WiFi for your office network (WPA2-PSK or lower)? Client isolation and no services available on the network are a must; anything else?

📰 OIB 3.4 News! I'm busy finalising changes/updates to v3.4 of the #OpenIntuneBaseline. Some forewarning of a "breaking change" in that all policies have been renamed to show where they actually exist (ES - Endpoint Security, SC - Settings Catalog). I still don't like it :(
