All information is an attractive target for bad actors, but some is inherently more valuable than others.

Speaking with clients, I find one of the biggest issues they struggle with how to properly secure Guest access in Microsoft 365 applications. While many organizations had already begun outsourcing their email to M365, most had really only begun looking at the rest of the M365 offering (Teams, SharePoint Online and OneDrive) when COVID hit. Most organizations wound up diving headfirst into this offering in an attempt to deal with the sudden need to work and collaborate with colleagues from home.

Cybersecurity has become an important topic for the defense supply chain. The ever-increasing number of digital channels that data can be exchanged through, has exponentially increased the risk of data breaches and leaks. This puts a lot of pressure on these organizations to ensure that the risks associated with the handling of sensitive data are as low as possible.

The feature will be globally available during the July 2022 timeframe.
