Security Boost
Microsoft 365
In this lecture-style class developed and presented by Marcus Wentling (Principal Consultant), Jesper Öfverström (Senior Consultant), Michael Darnert (Consultant) & Johan Hanna (Senior Consultant), you will learn how to protect and defend identities, devices, and data using the latest features in Microsoft 365. By understanding how the different products work and integrate, you will see several new opportunities you may already have access to in your M365 subscriptions.
Session 1
The first session will focus on Entra ID, where we will talk about the importance of Zero trust and why you need to change many of the default settings in Entra ID to secure your identities.
Session 2
The second session will cover how to protect your infrastructure using Microsoft Defender XDR & Sentinel. We will cover the different defender services to ensure that we can protect our endpoints and identities from threats and how we can use the capabilities of MD XDR & Sentinel to investigate suspicious activity in the environment.
Session 3
In the third session, we will examine data security features within Microsoft 365. Many organizations store sensitive information in Office 365, which makes it important to ensure that the information does not end up in the wrong place. We will use Microsoft Purview services to classify and protect sensitive information.
Session 4
The fourth session will focus on endpoints and how we can ensure that our devices can be secure and managed in the new hybrid work era. We will look at how Intune can help us secure both desktop and mobile operating systems.
