Microsoft Sentinel this Week - Issue #55 | Revue (getrevue.co)
Good day, all! And happy Friday!
It’s been a packed week for me here and I’m definitely looking forward to the weekend ahead.
I have a couple big things to highlight this week. So, bear with me for a minute before I leave you to this week’s newsletter content.
…
First off, we’ve kicked off the annual Microsoft Sentinel Hackathon! This is an awesome event that allows many of you to participate and share the good things you’ve accomplished with the Sentinel community at large.
This is the 3rd straight year for this event and each year has seen really excellent contributions. So, if you’ve created something over the past year that has delivered on efficiency and value for your own organization, consider participating in the Hackathon. And, for the rest of you, this is your opportunity to take that idea you’ve had for a long while and do something with it.
And, btw, there’s prizes!
- First Place (1) - $10,000 USD cash prize
- Second Place (1) - $4000 USD cash prize
- Runners Up (2) - $1500 USD cash prize each
- Popular Choice (1) - $1000 USD cash prize

I’ve heard from many of you who have daily workloads that are immense, making your opportunities for learning just an extra task. So, long blog posts, Microsoft Learn modules, and webinars just don’t fit into your schedule.
So, I’ve been mulling over how best to approach that for a while. Everyone needs the opportunity to learn and grow. So, for that reason this week I’ve launched a new series of video shorts called Rodcasts.
The name may sound silly, but there was actually quite a discussion about it when I originally wanted to call the series “Snuggies.” Snuggies was intended to be a word combination of Security Nuggets. But, as naive (apparently) as I am, I quickly found that the word snuggies has been taken over by some other definition in various parts of the globe. So, that was out.
Then, I finally figured that I couldn’t go wrong just using my own name as part of it and using a play on words. So, Rodcasts was born.
Rodcasts - or Security Rodcasts - are bite-sized nuggets of security information. The videos are around a minute or less long and focus on one very specific tip, trick, or new security feature. My intent is to deliver at least two of these a week.
Check out the Security RodCasts Playlist on YouTube when you get a chance. There’s already a couple available. Happy to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and comments.
