Want a custom security dashboard to bring together data from multiple places? Microsoft Power BI can do that and help you spot what's changing.

If the security tools you use don't have the right dashboards and reports to help you see at a glance what's going on with your systems, you can build them yourself in Power BI - and you don't need to be an expert in analytics to create something useful.

The advantage of Power BI is how easy it is to create exactly the right reports and visualizations for what's important to you, along with AI-powered analytics that find and highlight anomalies and outliers in the data.

There are Power BI content packs for various security tools, and several of Microsoft's security tools have APIs, so you can bring that information into Power BI to visualize.

You can pull a full snapshot or only the changes since you last pulled the data, depending on whether you want to look back at security data over time to see patterns and see if security policies you've introduced are making a difference or whether you're looking for the same kind of real-time overview that Power BI can give you for IoT devices.

Monitor Power BI with Power BI. Because Microsoft Power BI can connect to almost any data source in your organization, you probably want to keep track of who is accessing data and visualizations and make sure it's only the people you expect to have access to what might be critical or confidential business information.
