Azure Security Center Wrap - Issue #3
Welcome to issue #3 everyone!
It's been a couple weeks, but its good to get back together again. We have some fantastic Azure Security Center articles and videos to share in this issue.
I apologize up front, but I'm a bit strapped for commentary this issue. My father passed just two days ago. As sad as that is (and it is sad), there's actually a lot of work to accomplish once someone passes. So, that's where my energy has been and why its a bit more difficult for the words to come this issue.
That said. All is good. My dad was ready. I paid tribute to him during my security session for the Well-Architected: The Backstage Tour yesterday. If interested, you can watch the full event (or just my session on The Secret Life of a Security Signal) in replay at: https://cda.ms/2JB

Thanks to all for being here! This community just keeps growing and that in itself is a tribute.
Talk soon.
