User’s credentials are primary targets of phishing or social engineering attacks as users’ credentials or identities provide access to company networks. This is especially challenging for organizations with multiple locations and those with mobile workforce, contractors and partners who need to access company resources 24/7. This is the reason that identity protection or identity access management (IAM) is one of the cornerstones of good security and governance in any organization, small or big. Detecting compromised identities to identify indicators of attack and indicators of compromise within the systems is crucial in rapid security incident detection and response – thus minimizing the security incident costs. Attendees will learn about Office 365 security, compliance and productivity capabilities to help end users take advantage of those functionalities.
