Supporting IT Professionals is all we do

I'm proud to announce that our Defender XDR Learning Group is now open for registration. We have purposely scheduled this to accomodate the time zones in Australia and the USA in morning and afternoon sessions. And we welcome a professional Australian instructor to the mix. It'll be run just like the Intune Learning Group because the feedback was tremendous.

There was a lot to choose from this week, so I decided to focus on what Microsoft is doing for different industries. You might find something valuable there when talking to your clients. In the what to do this week section inspired by the car dealership debacle, we focus on recovery. 

And I'm introducing a sponsored section. We kick this off by featuring my good friend Susan Bradley's excellent newsletter, Ask Woody. They generate long form articles on home and business tech with a little finance and legislation thrown in from time to time. I'm a subscriber. There's a free and a plus version. You'll want plus.

Hope you enjoy and tell your friends to subscribe too. - Amy
