Azure Security Center Wrap - Issue #5
Hi, all! Thanks so much for joining us this week for our bi-weekly delivery of the Azure Security Center Wrap newsletter. Despite being on a bi-weekly schedule, its amazing to see the number of new subscribers find us and join our community.
This newsletter and the Azure Sentinel version have continued to see great success in curating and presenting both Microsoft and community content. So much so, that my group inside Microsoft is in deep discussions to deliver a weekly video version - essentially a weekly Microsoft security news show. We'll have different weekly segments including things like weekly product news, interviews with MVPs and product managers, field reporters, and even roadmap updates.
We need your help, though. As creative as we believe we can be sometimes, we'd love to get your help in naming the security news show.
We have a couple surveys posted up where you can participate. You can vote for one of those we've provided or submit something of your own.

Thank in advance for your help!

One important thing to highlight this issue is the Azure Security Benchmark (ASB) Workbook. Just released, this workbook provides a single pane of glass for gathering and managing data to address ASB control requirements. The power of this workbook lies in its ability to aggregate data from 25+ Microsoft security products and to apply these insights to relevant controls in the ASB framework. Rather than separately interfacing with Azure Security Center, Azure Sentinel, Azure Resource Graph, Azure Active Directory, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and additional products to understand compliance posture, the Azure Security Benchmark Workbook centralizes the relevant data within the context of the ASB controls.

Thanks all, we'll talk again in two weeks.
