  • HeikeRitter - I'd like to subscribe to the monthly news content for Defender-related stuff, but I'm not seeing a way of doing this. As I see it, I can subscribe to this month's news content, but I don't see any point in doing that, as I would not get notified of future news. I've followed you, but there's no guarantee that you will always be working on this subject, or even may not stay at Microsoft, so there would be an issue of not knowing who else to follow for this content.

  • Thomas Garrity, you made my day :stareyes: Thank you, thank you!! Whilst there is no option to subscribe to a specific topic, I can assure you that I have no intention of leaving any time soon :smile: Do you use power automate? You could create a flow to check the Microsoft 365 Defender RSS feed for "monthly news" and send you an email or so.
