With almost 20 years of industry experience and relevant certifications, Paul Huijbregts has a long history of working with customers across the world leveraging his passion for (Microsoft) security solutions – and being brutally honest about them. After joining Microsoft in 2016 and engaging regularly with Defender for Endpoint teams, Paul moved to Redmond (together with his wife and kids) to join them and become a product manager – in the middle of the pandemic (October 2020). Here, he is on what is called the “Platforms” team, working on solutions across operating systems and environments, focusing primarily on server endpoints and security management. His motto is: “I drink beer and I know Microsoft security things.”

Joe Anich has 15 years of experience in the IT industry ranging from endpoint management with a focus on SCCM and Intune to endpoint security and incident response. Currently working on Microsoft's Detection and Response Team (DART), he works closely with customers during critical moments. Working in incident response has given Joe insight into SOC operations and how to help teams around the world improve their security posture as a whole. Outside of work, Joe enjoys running around the house with his 2-year-old son playing “chase me.” Fun fact: During the late 90s, Joe could be found at the roller-skating rink most Friday nights, gliding around the rink with a super rope in hand, maybe in JNCOs or Lee Pipes, vibing to 90s hip hop.

To get the most out of this book

Before you start, you probably want to be able to click along in your own test environment. You can obtain a trial subscription (make sure it is for the P2 plan so that you get access to all the capabilities), and whatever test machine you can get your hands on. Running a local virtual machine is a great option (even of the quick-start kind on Windows 10 Professional using Hyper-V), but you can also leverage some of the evaluation labs that are available on the portal at https://security.microsoft.com.

On cold snacks

Cold snacks are bits of wisdom, advice, or simply interesting facts. The term came from one of the authors, who referred to having a cold beer as having some cold snacks. Given a lot of this book was, in fact, written at local breweries or at least with a beer in hand, this term was readily adopted by all involved: cheers, and we hope you enjoy the outcome of our blood, sweat, and beers!
