I've seen some inconsistent behavior with case sensitivity with ==, maybe see if it works if the case matches. Could also be a space in the data.

#DefenderforEndpoint #KQL

For those familiar with #DefenderforEndpoint and #KQL advanced hunting, do you know why I would get results from the query using the "contains" operator and get no results using the "==" operator?

My latest #project is coming to an end, and I’ll be honest, it’s been fun and an interesting piece of work.

Inplementing a Network, Detection and Response (#ndr) platform powered by #bluehexagon (now owned by #qualys) , with full integration into #Sentinel and #defenderforendpoint.

The interesting part was creating a custom #powershell #cmdlet / toolset for security engineering to integrate data as part of security incidents. Had me brushing off my coding skills and remembering how much I actually enjoy it!

This also means, my diary is now free from the end of this month… so am #opentowork.

Nice write-up by Microsoft security researchers about new campaign where attackers attempted to move laterally to a cloud environment through a SQL Server instance.

Attackers are now attempting to move laterally into cloud environments via SQL Server instances—a method previously seen in VMs and Kubernetes clusters but not in SQL Server.
