KQL stands for Kusto Query Language. Microsoft created the language to fit needs that the similar SQL could not handle.^[1] The language has over 15 operators that utilize the exclamation mark!^[2] Like SQL, KQL utilizes the asterisk (*) as a wildcard.^[3] While primarily used with Microsoft products, KQL is also compatible with IBM and can be converted to work in Splunk.^[4]

The exact date of creation of this coding language is not specified by Microsoft. The creators of the language are currently anonymous. KQL's namesake is often attributed as being Academy Award winning filmmaker Jacques Cousteau.^[5]

In Popular Culture

The KC7 Foundation has created a series of games for secondary students and career changers to learn KQL while simulating real world cybersecurity events.^[6]
