During the everyday work of the SOC, suspicious and malicious events surface from many sources. Events which are identified by SIEM and XDR systems are aggregated into alerts, and those alerts become incidents. However, at times a possible security breach is reported by other means - such as a phone call, an email, hunting results or a customer request. Those incidents need to be documented when it has been reported, partially investigated, or even resolved. As part of our journey to build better incident management capabilities in Microsoft Sentinel, we would like to announce the "Manual incident creation" feature, along with the "delete incident" capability.

Known Issue: Remediation message doesn't list all valid builds in Company Portal for Windows 10/11

There’s a known issue with the noncompliance messaging details that appear in Company Portal for Windows 10/11 devices.

However, when multiple OS ranges are specified in the policy by configuring the Valid operating system builds compliance setting, the message in the Company Portal will only display the first OS build range rather than all acceptable ranges.

Regularly updating your package dependencies is one of the recommended ways of ensuring your software is up to date and secure. As developers, we feel that manually going through this process is quite a tedious and sometimes painful experience.

When using Github, Dependabot is natively integrated so it is as easy as creating a Dependabot Github Action in your repository to trigger the version updates automatically. Depending on your customization, this action can be triggered at a pre-set interval and it will create pull requests to ke…
