My author copies of the second edition of the SC-200 Exam Ref which I wrote with @yuridiogenes turned up this week, so of course I'll take pictures with the dogs who are clearly enthralled and going to read it cover to cover. Can't believe I wrote the first version of this ~5 years ago stuck in lockdown in NZ!
But seriously if you're using Sentinel and Defender you need to give this a read, totally up to date with the new unified portal etc.

Here is his advice on how to deal with the tough moments in life

Cybersecurity maturity is stuck in the proverbial basement.
Few would claim that the cybersecurity industry is 'defined' on any maturity model given that we haven’t even agreed basics like roles and job descriptions, basic terminology/definitions, effective controls, etc.)

I'm closely watching the PRs on several Github repos to keep track of important changes, and one thing has stood out over the past couple of months: Microsoft is on a mission to reduce the Global Admin references from Microsoft Learn.
"Required Microsoft Entra role: Global Administrator or Application Administrator" is being replaced by "Required Microsoft Entra role at least Application Administrator" and so on.
If you want to keep track of changes in the Microsoft Docs, here's a blogpost where I explain how you can use GitHub API and Power Automate / Logic Apps to have a daily report in your mailbox! janbakker.tech/how-to-keep-t…
