A community for learning Microsoft Azure, 365, Microsoft Security, and for discussions and sharing of ideas related to Cloud, Microsoft DFIR, SIEM and XDR, and more. Founded by John Alves and managed by MCTs (Microsoft Certified Trainers) with a focus on enabling current and future Microsoft Certified professionals and building a core network of individuals with a passion for cloud and security.
The idea came as a way to give back to the community. Currently, The Lowdown Lab consists of three individuals.
