Windows Admin Center Webinar
If you’ve ever attended an Altaro webinar before, you’ll know these sessions are always highly informative and worthwhile events to remember. And this upcoming webinar on Windows Admin Center looks to be no exception!
Windows Admin Center is a powerful suite of management tools that was released along with Windows Server 2019, however with such a large number of features it can be difficult for regular Windows Server administrators to know what to focus on. This webinar, presented by Microsoft MVPs Andy Syrewicze and Eric Siron, is designed to do exactly that and demonstrate live the features of Windows Admin Center that give the greatest benefit to managing Windows Server!
How to Manage Windows Server Like a Boss will be held on April 9th and as always the webinar will be presented live twice at 2pm CEST/8am EDT/5am PDT and at 7pm CEST/1pm EDT /10am PDT.
Presenters: Andy Syrewicze (Microsoft MVP) and Eric Siron (Microsoft MVP)

Our new SIEM tool: Microsoft Azure Sentinel, intelligent security analytics for your entire enterprise
As we know, many legitimate threats go unnoticed and with the unsurprising high volume of alerts and your team spending far too much time in infrastructure setup or BAU tasks, you need a solution that empowers your existing SecOps team to see the threats clearer and eliminate the distractions.
That’s why we reimagined the SIEM tool as a new cloud-native solution called Microsoft Azure Sentinel. Azure Sentinel provides intelligent security analytics at cloud scale for your entire enterprise. Azure Sentinel makes it easy to collect security data across your entire hybrid organization from devices, to users, to apps, to servers on any cloud.
Collect data across your enterprise easily – With Azure Sentinel you can aggregate all security data with built-in connectors, native integration of Microsoft signals, and support for industry standard log formats like common event format and syslog.
Analyze and detect threats quickly with AI on your side – Security analysts face a huge burden from triaging as they sift through a sea of alerts, and correlate alerts from different products manually or using a traditional correlation engine.
Investigate and hunt for suspicious activities – Graphical and AI-based investigation will reduce the time it takes to understand the full scope of an attack and its impact. You can visualize the attack and take quick actions in the same dashboard.
Automate common tasks and threat response – While AI sharpens your focus on finding problems, once you have solved the problem you don’t want to keep finding the same problems over and over – rather you want to automate response to these issues.

Azure Sentinel preview is free
There will be no charges specific to Azure Sentinel during the preview. Pricing for Azure Sentinel will be announced in the future and a notice will be provided prior to the end of the preview. Should you choose to continue using Azure Sentinel after the notice period, you will be billed at the applicable rates

Annual Microsoft Security Intelligence Report (SIR) released
Yesterday, Microsoft published volume 24 of the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report (SIR).
The SIR is widely viewed as a credible, unparalleled source of information for IT professionals, security executives, governments, and the security industry at large, regarding the evolving threat landscape. Based on our extensive view of the threat landscape through analysis of over 6.5 trillion security signals daily, the SIR is one of the most comprehensive reports in the industry.
- SIR Volume 24 is an annual report that covers some of the key threat trends in 2018, including cryptocurrency mining, phishing and supply chain attacks. It also shares assessments based on our threat research and recommendations on how to protect against threats.
- In addition, for the very first time, we have launched an interactive version of the SIR as a complement to the annual report to enable viewers to dig into the data in more detail and be able to filter by country and/or time period. We intend to update the site monthly and add new and noteworthy insights over time.
You can download the report at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/operations/security-intelligence-report
