EDR logs explanation
Hello, would it be possible for an expert from this forum to analyze the EDR logs? Could you also explain to me in detail what happened? Furthermore, can you tell me if it is clearly established that the deleted files were deleted by someone physically present on the machine, or if there are other possible explanations? Thanks in advance.Microsoft Defender for Cloud App and Managed identities
I would like to check if we can use Microsoft Managed Identities to enable App connectors connection in Microsoft Defender for Cloud App? If No, looking forward for the best practices for the service/integration accounts to be used in these integrations.
My laptop has been blocked by BitLocker.
However, there is no BitLocker recovery keys on my Microsoft account. I have tried to call Microsoft support, but I only get bot messages that take me to sites that asks me to go and check my Microsoft account. Is there any way I can chat with a human that can actually help me how to get around this BitLocker? thanks
Unwanted Linked device
Hi 2 devices have access to my Microsoft account, sometimes when I log into my device it welcomes me as the other person vice versa. When we try creating a new alias on the other device it does not allow us (I don't even know what an alias is, all I know is it's in my name on another person's device) Sometimes I find the other device linked to mine, I keep removing the device however it keeps linking itself. Please help me because it turns out the other device has access to my cloud documents, regardless of whether I've logged in or not. I have to get this fixed within next 2 weeks otherwise I'm done for.How are folks limiting what employees share with unauthorized LLMs?
A common question I encounter is how companies are preventing their employees from sharing sensitive information with unauthorized LLMs. Some of the initial solutions include DLP (Data Loss Prevention) and modifying the network filter. I wonder what Windows offers in this regard, but more importantly - what are the best practices in the industry? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/application-security/application-isolation/microsoft-defender-application-guard/md-app-guard-overviewcan be configured to open specific LLM/chat-sites in a lock down browser and control how users interact with the content.

If you are running Windows 11(version 22H2) in your environment, a newly introduced feature enhances phishing protection by prompting users to exercise caution before entering their passwords in potentially insecure spaces, such as on malicious websites. If a user signs into Windows using a password, Enhanced Phishing Protection works alongside Windows security protections, and helps protect typed work or school password used to sign into Windows 11 in these ways: If users type or paste their work or school password on any browser, into a site deemed malicious by Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Enhanced Phishing Protection alerts them. It also alerts them to change their password so attackers can't gain access to their account. Reusing work or school passwords makes it easy for attackers who compromise a user's password to gain access to their other accounts. Enhanced Phishing Protection can warn users if they reuse their work or school Microsoft account password on sites and apps and alert them to change their password. Since it's unsafe to store plaintext passwords in text editors, Enhanced Phishing Protection can warn users if they store their work or school password in Notepad, Word, or any Microsoft 365 Office app, and recommends they delete their password from the file. If users type their work or school password into a website or app that SmartScreen finds suspicious, Enhanced Phishing Protection can automatically collect information from that website or app to help identify security threats. For example, the content displayed, sounds played, and application memory.

Security Experts... Please advise the necessary people
I'm exploring this forum as a last resort, having exhausted all other options. My story involves a serious flaw in Microsoft's security framework, which has devastatingly impacted my once-thriving business. As a small yet vital enterprise of 15 employees, functioning as an MSP and Microsoft Silver Partner, I faced an unforeseen betrayal. During my absence for spinal surgery, a rogue Microsoft CSP Direct Partner, who was only supposed to manage my business temporarily, exploited their Microsoft affiliation. Utilizing social engineering and their insider status, they illegitimately transferred my company's goodwill and assets to themselves. This included the theft of two decades' worth of private data. The gravity of their deception extends beyond my business; they now control my client base, mainly consisting of solicitors and accountants. Despite clear evidence of their phishing and scamming activities, Microsoft has remained passive, allowing the situation to deteriorate. The suppliers, duped by fraudulent documents, are now realizing their mistake but continue to deny my rights to my own business. This inaction, shared by both Microsoft and the suppliers, leaves me entangled in debt and potential litigation. Interestingly, I am still aware of the physical whereabouts of these scammers. Moreover, I possess pages and pages of IOCs that further substantiate their illicit activities. If Microsoft genuinely engaged with this issue and worked collaboratively towards a resolution, perhaps we could transform this into a tale of rectification and justice. But, having pursued every possible channel without success, I am compelled to raise awareness on public forums. With nothing left to lose, I am calling for attention to this matter. Should you be able to assist, or know someone who can, please reach out. My contact details are linked to my forum ID, and Microsoft can easily access my tenant and phone information.
