Your Privacy-First Microsoft News Source
Built by an IT professional, for IT professionals
Meet Michael
Michael is an IT Professional since the late nineties. Like you, he hates spam and will never use your email address other than getting this newsletter. Email addresses are stored encrypted. No other information is collected.
After years of manually checking dozens of Microsoft blogs, security bulletins, and update feeds every week, Michael created MSBrief to solve his own problem: staying informed without the noise.
What started as a personal script to aggregate Microsoft news has grown into a curated newsletter trusted by IT administrators who need to stay ahead of patches, Azure changes, and security incidents—without wasting hours hunting for updates.
Our Privacy Promise
Your privacy is non-negotiable. We only collect your email address, and it's encrypted in our database. We never share, sell, or use your email for anything other than delivering the newsletter you signed up for. No tracking pixels. No analytics on who opens what. Just clean, curated Microsoft news—twice a week.
Why MSBrief Exists
No Spam, Ever
Only twice-weekly emails (Wednesdays & Fridays). No promotions, no affiliate links, no nonsense.
Encrypted & Private
Your email is encrypted at rest. We collect nothing else. Unsubscribe anytime with one click.
Admin-Focused
Curated for real IT work—patches, CVEs, Azure changes, M365 updates, and security incidents.
Built by Admins
Not a marketing team. Just an IT pro who understands what matters when you're managing infrastructure.
How We Curate Content
MSBrief aggregates from 40+ official sources including:
- Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) — Official CVE bulletins and Patch Tuesday updates
- Azure Blogs & Updates — GA releases, preview features, and retirement notices
