I made a short video that explains Entra app permissions and the part they played in the ConnectWise incident: how one app credential reached 173+ Microsoft 365 tenants with no password or MFA, and what to check today. youtube.com/watch?v=Q36aL_HI…

PSA The next major release of Graph PowerShell will drop support for Windows PowerShell. PS7 only going forward...

Some awesome news on least privilege Graph permissions. There's a new Graph Permission coming soon. Introducing 🎺AppRegistration.Create🎺 Very soon you will no longer need to ask or grant the highly privileged 💥Application.ReadWrite.All💥 BUT hold your horses. It's only listed in the docs at learn.microsoft.com/en-us/gr… and not yet available in the Entra portal or through the API. But when it lands it's going to be good. Plus it's an opportunity to go back and update apps to the least privilege permission.

Why did I leave Microsoft? To work full time on 🔥 Maester. Over 40,000+ tenants today rely on Maester to monitor their tenants daily. I wanted to make sure that the tests they are running continue to be relevant and evolve as Microsoft 365 and the security landscape evolves. So today I'm announcing the launch of Maester.Cloud Maester Cloud is the portal companion to Maester that lets you track your results over time. It is multi tenant, runs in your cloud (or ours) and more → check out the site for all the features. More importantly Maester Cloud is a way for me to fund the continued development of the open source Maester core and the tests in Maester. That is our mission. In fact I worked with the core team @fabian_bader , @Thomas_Live , @MySnozzberries and @SamErde to create the Maester Manifesto (maester.cloud/manifesto). It is our promise to the community. If you value Maester and would like to support and ensure that Maester continues to grow and be healthy, I would be beyond thrilled if your organisation can sponsor this effort. I would also appreciate it very much if you can share this post with your network to spread awareness. Thanks!

I built a fun little side project called Yako. It started because I got sick of opening a new tab and immediately seeing ads, news, clickbait, and distractions. I just wanted a calmer start page. So I made one for Microsoft users and admins. getyako.com
