An Introduction to Office 365 Security

We’ve often talked about security and compliance here on the ESW Associates blog. Because security is paramount, it’s only natural Microsoft has been investing in making it easier for organizations to achieve their compliance and security goals. Since most organizations have separate teams working in these two spaces, Microsoft has separated them as well.

These new specialized workspaces are the Microsoft 365 Security Center and the Microsoft 365 Compliance Center. They give your security and compliance teams centralized management across all Microsoft 365 services, including Office 365, Windows 10, Enterprise Mobility and Security, as well as several Azure features.

Both centers allow you to find actionable insights, alerts, and scores so you can better understand your security and compliance risks, as well as boasting an AI that strengthens both security and compliance.
