I spent way too much debugging why an endpoint would connect to Microsoft identity endpoints after ruling out networking, GSA, DNS, FW Rules. Turns out I had this "enable firewall protection of Microsoft Endpoints" in TenantRestrictions. I had WDAC enabled and running but no app tagging rule.

Strange that Life cycle workflows can bypass some aspects of an RMAU but identity governance access reviews cannot remove members... I wonder if intentional from Microsoft - in a way it makes Has anyone dug into this? #entra

So you can do Tenant Restrictions in a Edge for business policy now though I struggle to see the use-case over doing it the Intune or GSA way. #Intune #Edge #GSA #Tenant #TenantRestrictions

Anyone ever noticed Microsoft graph command line tools doesn't show up as a first party Microsoft app despite the docs mentioning it is? My app governance policy disabled it which is how I noticed this. #entra #microsoft

Spotted another Crypto Scam in a Cyber Discord server. Noticed the fake crypto site had a chat bot so I decided to Prompt inject it: I made it admit it was a scam that had fake endorsements, fake reviews and non-existent support emails (no MX record lol)

Reminder to block newly registered domains. In MDE this is done via web content filtering and this will block any domain <30 days that hasn't been moved into another category. Categorization is done by NetSTAR if you ever need check the category or report false positives.

I sort of miss the days of phone form factor innovation, now all phones look incredibly similar. We'll never see some of the whacky designs we had in the past again. Not that it matters for me as #GrapheneOS.
