CIAOPS Techwerks returns to Melbourne CBD on Friday the 11th of August.

The course is limited to 20 people and you can sign up and reserve your place now! You reserve a place by completing this form:

http://bit.ly/ciaopsroi

or by sending me an email (director@ciaops.com) expressing your interest.

The content of these all day face to face workshops is driven by the attendees. That means we cover exactly what people want to see and focus on doing hands on, real world scenarios. Attendees can vote on topics they’d like to see covered prior to the day and we continue to target exactly what the small group of attendees wants to see. Thus, this is an excellent way to get really deep into the technology and have all the questions you’ve been dying to know answered. Typically, the event produces a number of best practice take aways for each attendee. So far, the greatest votes are for deeper dives into the Microsoft Cloud including Microsoft 365, Azure, Intune, Defender for Endpoint, security such as Azure Sentinel and PowerShell configuration and scripts, with a focus on enabling the technology in SMB businesses.

Recent testimonial – “I just wanted to say a big thank you to Robert for the Brisbane Techworks day. It is such a good format with each attendee asking what matters them and the whole interactive nature of the day. So much better than death by PowerPoint.” – Mike H.

The cost to attend is:

Gold Enterprise Patron = Free

Gold Patron = $33 inc GST

Silver Patron = $99 inc GST

Bronze Patron = $176 inc GST

Non Patron = $399 inc GST

I hope to see you there.

Microsoft 365 incident response training

pexels-pixabay-69934

In early 2023 I’ll be running an incident response training course for Microsoft 365 environments. Training will held over four consecutive weeks. Each session will be two (2) hours and run from 9am Sydney time.The dates are:

Wednesday January 11th 2023 – Before an incident. What you need to do to prepare

Wednesday January 18th 2023 – During an incident. What you need to do when an incident occurs

Wednesday January 25th 2023 – After an incident. What needs to be done after an incident has occurred

Wednesday February 1st 2023 – Lab exercises and group best practice discussions

The sessions will be recorded and other materials from the sessions (checklists, etc) will be available to attendees afterwards.

This event will be conducted remotely via Microsoft Teams.

The aim of this training is to help you better prepare for a security incident inside the Microsoft 365 environment. You’ll learn what settings you should enable and what processes you should have in place before an incident occurs. The sessions will also take you through common examples of incidents and help you understand what needs to be done when they occur and how to minimise risk and impact to a business. The sessions will also take your through the post-incident process to build confidence with what information needs to be maintained and how to prevent similar incidents re-occurring. The final session will be a group hands on lab and discussion so you can put all the skills you have learned to the test.

The price for this event will be:

Gold Enterprise Patron = Free

Gold Patron = $33 inc GST

Silver Patron = $99 inc GST

Bronze Patron = $176 inc GST

Non Patron = $399 inc GST

You can learn more about the CIAOPS Patron community at www.ciaopspatron.com.

I hope that you’ll join me in January for this event as I believe it provides some much needed training in a very important aspect of managing and securing Microsoft 365. If you are serious about security for Microsoft 365, then you need a plan and this training will aim to give you just that plus some experience to boot!

You can register you interest in attending this course here – http://bit.ly/ciaopsroi after which I’ll be in contact with you to arrange payment and get you enrolled.

As always, if you have any questions about this training please email me on – director@ciaops.com.

I hope to see you there.

Updated CIAOPS PowerShell course

I am pleased to announce that I have updated my online PowerShell course for Microsoft 365. A lot has changed in recent times so I’ve been through the content and updated it as well as add lots more lessons and resources. The only thing that hasn’t changed is the price. That remains at US$39!

You can view the course content and sign up here:

https://www.ciaopsacademy.com/p/powershell-for-microsoft-365

Of course, if you are eligible CIAOPS Patron, you’ll also get immediate access to the course for free as part of your benefits.

The idea with the course is not to give you a deep dive into all the workings of PowerShell. It is designed to get you up and running using PowerShell with Microsoft 365 as quickly as possible. No pre-existing knowledge is assumed. I’m aiming to bring out more advanced courses, but this course is the foundation on which courses will be built.

As I have said many times here, PowerShell is a KEY skill for any IT Pro going forward in the Microsoft Cloud space. It allows you to do things faster and more consistently, just to name two benefits. If you haven’t taken the step to learning PowerShell then invest in yourself and you future and do so!
