Is your Office 365 locked down in lockdown?

(2020/07/20)


Webcast Full Office 365 security compliance is one of those things most enterprises will have on the to-do list somewhere, but it’s surprising how few actually get around to it.

It’s more surprising still when considering Office 365 is used by a huge number of companies across the world in some fashion, if only for the basics of email and file storage.

However, if there’s one thing that lockdown has meant for us all – apart from boredom, overeating, and a new-found love and hate of jigsaw puzzles – it’s a much stronger need to make our daily-bread cloud software fully compliant. With almost everyone working from home, the requirement to plug security gaps became not a future concern, but a now concern.

That’s why our next [1]webcast is devoted to all things Office 365 security. The Reg ’s Tim Phillips and J Peter Bruzzese, of Office 365 security experts Mimecast, will cover the best ways to start taking compliance seriously, and focus on the most effective ways to assist your remote workers as we continue to work from spare rooms, dining tables, and sheds.

At 1500 BST [2]on August 5, 2020 , J Peter and Tim will cover the best ways to protect your workers from phishing, social engineering and impersonation, and ransomware, as well as phishing’s big sibling: whaling – when a fraudster goes to the top of a company to obtain the keys to the city.

The panel will also look into the best methods to prevent data leaks from inside your organisation, how to archive sensitive information safely and securely, not to mention ways to simplify encryption processes to make sure your remote workers can successfully and repeatably scramble or hash the most important information when storing or transmitting it.

Finally, the conversation will cover ways to ensure your business keeps going even through inevitable downtime – be that from company systems, your remote workers suffering connection drops, or Office 365 itself experiencing wobbles.
