Prevention & Recovery: IT Security in the Hybrid Workplace
ON-DEMAND WEBINAR

Prevention & Recovery: IT Security in the Hybrid Workplace

As many employees continue to work remotely and split time between working in the office and home, the focus on the cloud is growing. Technology like Microsoft 365 helps small businesses remain competitive in the hybrid workplace.

While it helps your team achieve results and stay connected when working from anywhere, the flexibility of the cloud creates security risks. Making sure your cybersecurity strategy shifts with the way you work is important in keeping your organization safe from cyber threats.

Prevention & Recovery: IT Security in the Hybrid WorkPlace

That’s why we’re focusing this 1-hour discussion on prevention & recovery. More specifically, we’re talking about preventing cyber attacks with Microsoft 365 security tools and investing in cyber insurance as a way to recover from one.

What you’ll learn

  • How Microsoft 365 can help protect against phishing attacks
  • The risks of using passwords and how Microsoft 365 can help keep attackers out without making it harder for your employees to log in.
  • Why Azure AD and InTune may replace the domain controller in your office
  • How cyber insurance protects your organization and what may be excluded from your coverage
  • What impacts the cost of a cyber policy
