Written by Henry Yan (Sr. Product Marketing Manager) Illumio for Azure Firewall enables organizations to understand application traffic and dependencies and apply consistent protection across environments - limiting exposure, containing breaches, and improving efficiency. Cloud environments are dynamic in nature with applications commonly deployed as code and continuously scaling up and down. This makes it more challenging for organizations to secure their applications and gain visibility into application traffic.

Azure Availability Zones (AZ) provide protection from datacenter failures by using in-region redundancy between datacenters in separate zones, each with its own independent infrastructure. If a zone is impacted by an outage, another zone will be used instead, automatically. Availability Zone support in North Europe makes the service processes in this region more resilient to datacenter outages, without requiring user intervention or extra charges. To ensure you also keep your data safe and available in the face of a datacenter outage, link your workspace to a dedicated cluster that uses Availability Zones (now enabled by default in regions that support AZ). For mor…

Welcome back to our series on OpenAI and Microsoft Sentinel! Today we will explore another use case for OpenAI's wildly popular language model and take a look at the Sentinel REST API. If you don't already have a Microsoft Sentinel instance, you can create one using a free Azure account and follow the Sentinel onboarding quickstart. You'll also need a personal OpenAI account with an API key. Ready? Let's get started! One of the tasks that security practitioners face is how to rapidly consume analytics rules, queries, and definitions to understand why an alert was triggered. For example, here is an example of a relatively short Microsoft Sentinel analytics rul…

For many in education, Microsoft Teams is the collaboration platform that allows students and educators to chat, share files, and collaborate on projects. Like many apps, Microsoft Teams uses cache to store temporary data, such as chat history and files. While the cache is useful for improving performance, it can also become cluttered over time and slow down the app. Deleting the cache can help improve Microsoft Teams performance by reducing the amount of temporary data stored which can also free up storage space. The Microsoft Teams cache can be deleted manually by deleting all the files and folders in the %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams directory for each user profile…

No Dia Internacional da Mulher, celebramos o potencial de mulheres e meninas em todos os lugares e suas ideias e inovações que estão moldando nosso futuro. O mercado de tecnologia é um dos que mais cresce no mundo e ao longo de décadas, tivemos mulheres como pioneiras na inovação, marcando a história da humanidade e trazendo vida à nossa era digital, desde o primeiro algoritmo. No entanto, atualmente enfrentamos um gap da presença feminina na área de tecnologia. As mulheres representam somente 25% da força de trabalho na indústria digital (ONU Mulheres Brasil, 2018) e ganham até 34% a menos do que homens no setor (PNAD – IBGE, 2018). Essas disparidades nascem na ra…

Heya folks, Ned here again. With the release of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25314, we have started disabling the Remote Mailslot protocol by default. This is a precursor to deprecation and eventual removal from Windows. You aren't using this extremely legacy protocol unless you're also using the deprecated and disabled-by-default SMB1 protocol, so 99.97% of you have nothing to worry about. For those who are, a bit more information: Remote Mailslots The Remote Mailslot protocol is a very old, simple, unreliable, insecure inter-process communication method. A server creates a mailslot and a client writes messages to it using NetBIOS datagrams as a transport…

First impressions matter! Especially if it is the first call from a new or potential patient. Phone calls are a direct method of patient care and outreach and must be routed efficiently and to the right person. Teams Phone can provide your patients & care givers with a convenient way to communicate quickly, while protecting the clinic from being inundated with calls that can be handled by other channels. In a typical clinic, you will need the ability for patients to ask follow-up questions from their appointments or refill prescriptions, but items like billing and scheduling are handled by centralized departments at another location. Your basic call routing sc…
