Four Expert-Led Sessions
The training is divided into four sessions covering different aspects of M365. The sessions are held online from 3 pm to 5 pm CET, and presented in English. Dates: August 25, 26, September 1 and 2.
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.
The second session will cover how to protect your infrastructure using Microsoft Defender XDR. 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 to investigate suspicious activity in the environment.
The third 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.
In the fourth 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.
After these sessions, you will have a unique and deep understanding of the threat-protection and compliance stack in Microsoft 365, how you can leverage it in your own environment, and prepare for when the worst happens.
