00:00:12.259 --> 00:00:14.759
Hello, I'm Chris Goosen. Welcome to the Everyday

00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:17.339
Defender podcast. As always, I'm joined by my

00:00:17.339 --> 00:00:19.600
friend from the Netherlands, Kos. Hey, Chris.

00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:21.920
How are you doing? Very, very well. It's been,

00:00:22.019 --> 00:00:24.320
I want to say, a couple of months since we last

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:25.980
saw each other, actually. And it's amazing how

00:00:25.980 --> 00:00:28.960
time flies when, you know, things are busy, right?

00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:31.480
I know you've been very, very busy with some

00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:32.939
things, and we'll talk about that a little bit.

00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:35.460
Since we last saw each other, I've been... back

00:00:35.460 --> 00:00:37.640
to san francisco for ignite we spent a great

00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:39.740
week uh with the microsoft folks in san francisco

00:00:39.740 --> 00:00:41.780
that was that was awesome meeting customers and

00:00:41.780 --> 00:00:45.240
and all that cool stuff and i guess for our audience

00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.859
um you know this is not your traditional episode

00:00:47.859 --> 00:00:50.479
of of uh the everyday defender podcast we wanted

00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:52.460
to put together this uh quick promo just to let

00:00:52.460 --> 00:00:54.920
you know the things that we were working on while

00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.060
everyone's enjoying their uh sort of holiday

00:00:57.060 --> 00:00:59.399
season and uh getting ready for the new year

00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:01.759
uh coast and i have been thinking about uh season

00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:05.469
two And so we're excited to just drop just a

00:01:05.469 --> 00:01:08.109
quick promo about what might be coming up. Yeah,

00:01:08.170 --> 00:01:10.409
I think we were already very happy with how first

00:01:10.409 --> 00:01:13.230
season went, Chris, but I think we had a couple

00:01:13.230 --> 00:01:15.260
of things we wanted to change. So that's why

00:01:15.260 --> 00:01:18.980
we took a little time off and now preparing to

00:01:18.980 --> 00:01:22.180
launch season two in the next year. One of the

00:01:22.180 --> 00:01:23.900
things that changed was the name, right, Chris?

00:01:24.099 --> 00:01:26.599
People were having a hard time finding us. They

00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.040
heard about the Everyday Defender podcast and

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.519
then they went to Spotify, whatever, typed it

00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:35.219
in and didn't find anything. Absolutely. That's

00:01:35.219 --> 00:01:37.359
been some feedback that we've heard and we've

00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:39.939
received. And so we are going to be renaming.

00:01:40.379 --> 00:01:42.900
You know, it's still Chris. It's still Kos. It's

00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:45.140
still Everyday Defender. uh without the lead

00:01:45.140 --> 00:01:48.739
speak So we're going to just be renaming it to

00:01:48.739 --> 00:01:51.680
everyday defender. So it'd be a lot easier for

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.879
folks to find us, you know, instead of trying

00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:58.480
to guess how to spell. I will double down on

00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:00.900
the lead speak on the title episode title. So

00:02:00.900 --> 00:02:02.920
Chris to compensate for that. Fair enough. I

00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:04.560
think it's a little bit of give and take, right?

00:02:05.099 --> 00:02:06.939
Some other things that we've been, we've been

00:02:06.939 --> 00:02:10.000
thinking about here, you know, we've, as we've

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.939
built the podcast and as, as things have sort

00:02:11.939 --> 00:02:14.860
of developed and grown, we've, been putting a

00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:17.199
lot more effort into our show notes, right? And

00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:19.539
I think everyone who's read the show notes understands.

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:21.960
And a lot of this effort is oftentimes we have

00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:23.900
code in there. We have all sorts of things and

00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:26.719
we've kind of feel like it's not as legible as

00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:28.659
it could be, right? When we first built our website,

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.199
the website was just about the podcast. It wasn't

00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.020
necessarily to be a, you know, a freestanding.

00:02:34.490 --> 00:02:37.250
um sort of body of work and and i think we've

00:02:37.250 --> 00:02:39.389
realized that it doesn't translate that well

00:02:39.389 --> 00:02:41.750
given how much effort we put into the show notes

00:02:41.750 --> 00:02:43.949
so we're going to be working on some something

00:02:43.949 --> 00:02:45.729
new for the website to just make it a little

00:02:45.729 --> 00:02:48.770
bit more legible you know a lot less hacker less

00:02:48.770 --> 00:02:51.930
console um but uh but make it easier for folks

00:02:51.930 --> 00:02:54.250
to read and actually really extract the the value

00:02:54.250 --> 00:02:56.710
there that gets that gets put into that so excited

00:02:56.710 --> 00:02:58.590
about that keep an eye out for that yeah and

00:02:58.590 --> 00:03:01.370
obviously we're we're keep covering uh the latest

00:03:01.370 --> 00:03:04.379
and greatest regarding microsoft security So

00:03:04.379 --> 00:03:06.659
a lot of new products and features obviously

00:03:06.659 --> 00:03:10.300
coming around every time and obviously one of

00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:12.979
our main goals is to provide everybody some practical

00:03:12.979 --> 00:03:15.340
tips they can apply themselves. That will stay

00:03:15.340 --> 00:03:19.120
the same. Other new stuff will be also regarding

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.479
AI, of course. It's impossible to deny. I think

00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.719
Microsoft, without going into more details right

00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.379
now, but Microsoft released a couple of changes

00:03:28.379 --> 00:03:30.780
lately. I think we should cover them more in

00:03:30.780 --> 00:03:33.740
depth in one of the episodes. But I also think

00:03:33.740 --> 00:03:36.080
it is fun to cover some third -party solutions.

00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.300
So at the company I work for, we use Claude and

00:03:39.300 --> 00:03:44.199
N8N, or Nathan for people in the know, a lot

00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.840
in our security operations. So I thought maybe

00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.939
we should cover an episode to let people know

00:03:49.939 --> 00:03:53.020
how to run a SOC based on the Microsoft Security

00:03:53.020 --> 00:03:56.360
products and how we apply AI there as well. I

00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:58.939
think that's awesome. Personally, I'm quite passionate

00:03:58.939 --> 00:04:02.460
about that sort of SecOps space as well. So you

00:04:02.460 --> 00:04:04.939
can look forward to a lot of automation and PowerShell

00:04:04.939 --> 00:04:07.360
and all that kind of goodness from me as well.

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.819
Obviously, I spent a lot of time with customers

00:04:09.819 --> 00:04:13.000
when I was at Ignite. I spent a lot of time at

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.569
the Entra booth. And so that really helped me

00:04:16.569 --> 00:04:18.750
as well sort of understand a lot of some of the

00:04:18.750 --> 00:04:21.370
questions that customers have today currently

00:04:21.370 --> 00:04:24.649
about sort of Entra and making the most of Entra.

00:04:24.689 --> 00:04:26.389
So I think you could expect a lot of Entra things

00:04:26.389 --> 00:04:30.350
in the new season as well. So really, really

00:04:30.350 --> 00:04:32.009
looking forward to it. Hope you like the new

00:04:32.009 --> 00:04:34.550
branding as well. Again, you know, COSAS has

00:04:34.550 --> 00:04:37.060
been hard at work. um so with some new branding

00:04:37.060 --> 00:04:38.759
and just wanting to keep things a little bit

00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.500
fresh right we don't want to be stale we don't

00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:43.680
want to have the same old thing every every month

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.839
um it's really important for us to kind of keep

00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.819
the um everything fresh and and and exciting

00:04:48.819 --> 00:04:52.040
so i really really look forward to season two

00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:56.459
um uh coming in in uh 2026 be dropping before

00:04:56.459 --> 00:04:59.259
you know it Yeah, and quickly, I want to round

00:04:59.259 --> 00:05:01.120
off with the community projects, Chris. They

00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.600
will return as well, season two. While everybody

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:07.040
was eating Christmas turkey, the community members

00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.779
were building new stuff I saw on LinkedIn. So

00:05:09.779 --> 00:05:12.300
definitely, we'll share those projects with you.

00:05:12.459 --> 00:05:15.819
