Welcome to the Microsoft Security Insights Show!

First off, I want to thank all our loyal watchers and listeners. Your groundswell support has launched this show into directions we never thought possible. Our audience numbers continue to grow rapidly because of all of you.

So, THANK YOU!

For those that are new to our show community, stumbled onto the show accidentally, or are just finding out about it by reading this after one of those loyal audience participants forwarded it to you, we wanted to make sure you know of all the ways you can participate in this growing community.

The show is a conversational, free-flowing event with a single rule: have fun!

Our one true goal is to make learning about security and cybersecurity approachable. A lot of shows are informative, but dry. Our unique blend of personalities, guests, and topics ensure that everyone has fun while learning.

We talk all things Microsoft Security. Our guests include folks like Microsoft security PMs and CVPs, Microsoft security partners, MVPs, security and certification book authors, and more.

Live

Every Monday evening the show streams live for about an hour at the following network links:

The live version offers real-time audience participation including questions, jokes, and commentary.

Replay

After the live event, the show is available immediately for live video replay on YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. It lives forever on YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn, but only a week or so on Twitch and it becomes extremely hard to find on Twitter (though it does reside there forever, too).

There may be episodes where there are demos, where Brodie is showcasing his latest gardening photos or where Edward is wearing a funny hat, so the live event or the live video replay is definitely recommended in those cases. But with each episode provided here on this site, we also include the video replay so you can always catch the demo or two.

Audio Podcast

After the live show, an audio version is produced and delivered across all your favorite podcast platforms. You can search for Microsoft Security Insights and find us everywhere.

The audio podcast version is released the Friday morning (at 7:30am EST) following the live show, but we release the audio version early here on Substack for those that prefer to listen using a browser or through download for listening later.

You can find all the past episodes here on Substack on the Podcast tab in the top menu. But you can also link to it here: https://securityinsights.substack.com/podcast

Workout

Speaking of audio podcast listening, Garmin users can listen to the weekly episodes on their audio/music enabled fitness devices using Playrun.

Here’s the direct link to the podcast on Playrun: The Microsoft Security Insights Show on Playrun

Website

Our website, or landing page, is a tad bit interesting in that we have two of them. This one, where you’re reading now (Substack) and another one where you can also grab the RSS feed.

Original Microsoft Security Insights website: 

https://microsoftsecurityinsights.com/

Obviously, having two separate websites is a bit kooky, but we’re still deciding what to do with that original website and we’ll let you know when that determination is made.

Community

Like all the cool kids we have our own Discord server where there’s always some awesome conversation happening. Stop by to talk about the show or participate in the many security topics happening there. Or, hey — if you’re keen, stop by Brodie’s Defender for Gardening channel. A little-known fact: Brodie is the Martha Stewart of security.

You can join the Discord channel using this link: https://discord.gg/hs4PTfk8Tm

A big, huge Security Insights show THANK YOU to noodlemctwoodle who helps manage and moderate the Discord channel.

Social Accounts

Like any other credible show, we also have tent stakes posted in a couple social media networks.
