Safeguard your business with Office 365

Did you know that physical servers are on the decline and cloud storage is on the up? Even though there is a common misconception about cloud, that it is not safe versus traditional servers, 43% of enterprises already use Office 365 and this number is growing.

Some of the biggest advantages of Office 365 include:

• Users can work from anywhere
• Provides robust security and reliability
• Subscription-based payment is available
• Teams and users can easily collaborate
• You receive access to the latest programs
• You can work with what you know
• Office 365 features mix and match plans

Let’s pay attention to their robust security and reliability as this is a general concern for most business owners today with an increase of staff working at home. It will protect your business, and allow your employees to be productive from anywhere, on any device.

How does Office 365 keep you secure?

The top layer of security in Office 365 focuses on protecting your business from external threats by giving you access to enterprise-grade service and protection. These threat protection tools keep your business free of hazards such as spam, malware, viruses, phishing attempts, and malicious links while protecting you from sophisticated threats such as zero-day ransomware and other advanced threat techniques.

Here are some of its key security features:

Encrypted Email: Keeping anyone other than the intended recipient from reading your emails.

Data Loss Prevention: Microsoft’s Data Loss Prevention Policy allows you to identify, monitor and protect sensitive information from leaving your organisation.

Mobile Device Management: A feature allowing your IT team to control Office on your employees’ mobile devices to protect company information. If somebody loses their device or it gets stolen, you’re able to delete all of the data without needing to use the lost or stolen device to delete data.

Advanced Threat Analytics: This unique feature analyses systems to detect and alert users to suspicious behaviour on the network. It scans emails as they land into inboxes for malicious links and attachments and if there’s anything dangerous lurking in there, it prevents it from getting in. While the email will still appear, a message appears explaining why the attachment isn’t there. That’s one way to eliminate human error.

Exchange Online Protection: Provides advanced security and reliability against spam and malware to protect information and email access.

Threat Management: Security monitoring to prevent or detect any tampering of data. Dedicated threat management teams are in place to anticipate and prevent malicious access.

Multi-Factor Authentication: Multi-factor authentication protects access to sensitive data, such as using a phone to access data as a secondary device for added security.
