8 Microsoft Office 365 Security Tips To Reduce Data Loss

More than four in ten organizations are in the process of implementing Office 365 or are already using it. It thus comes as no surprise that revenue for Microsoft’s flagship cloud-based email and collaboration solution hasincreased nearly 70% year-over-year in Q2 2016 compared to 2015. The solution appears to continue to be growing in popularity—with signs of further traction in the large enterprises.

However, even with a slew of new security tools and compliance guidance, there are still things you can do to protect this critical business system.

In this collection of slides on Dark Reading, we review 8 risks organizations face related to their Office 365 (O365) implementation. Some of these tips will be obvious to the information security professional responsible for traditional mobile, desktop, and server security; but some of these tips need to be addressed specifically as they relate to their O365 implementation.
