## **Did you know that your existing Microsoft 365 Business Premium licence includes enhanced security features?**

Quite often we work with partners that are paying for Microsoft 365 licences that do not realise the features that are included in their licence. Leaving them vulnerable to threats & attacks whilst using the cloud. 

Alternatively, we do also work with partners that have an overly complicated security stack made up of multiple security tools. Between the technology jargon & complex systems we often see that businesses are investing twice as much as they need too on cyber security. To make matters worse they are also paying for multiple products that perform the same job! 

**Sound like you?** 

If either of those sound like you we’ve put a list together below to highlight some of the key security features included in your Microsoft 365 Business Premium licencing to help you streamline costs & enhance your security posture. 

![labdesk-microsoft-banner2](https://labdesk.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/labdesk-microsoft-banner2.png?width=2240&height=1260&name=labdesk-microsoft-banner2.png)

#### **Identity & Access Management**

Leveraging **Azure Active Directory** allows you to implement enhanced security controls for your end users. This includes features such as: 

- **Multi-factor authentication**,
- **Conditional access**
- **Single sign on**
- **Identity protection**

Azure AD allows you to control access to your resources based on specific conditions being met. For example, requiring users to sign in with both a password & authentication application. Restricting access to resources from set locations/devices. Syncing user login information across multiple applications.  

The security controls are both granular & flexible.  

#### **Email Security**

91% of cyber-attacks start with a phishing email and with Microsoft being the most common email platform there is a risk to all users. Fortunately, Microsoft have a rich feature set to help prevent & block such threats.  

- **Safe attachments** - real-time malware scanning.
- **Safe links** - detect & block malicious links.
- **Spoof intelligence** - live email spoof protection.

- **Anti-phishing policies** - protect against attacks.
- **Mailbox intelligence** - identifies email activity pattern.

#### **Device Management**

Working hand-in-hand with Azure Active Directory is **Microsoft Endpoint Manager.** This technology brings together both **Microsoft Intune** & **Configuration Manager** to offer a unified approach to managing endpoints including PCs, mobile devices & servers. Featuring the following: 

- Central management of device policies
- Control of device applications
- Remote wipe of applications & devices.
- Patch management
- Zero touch deployment.
- Microsoft Autopilot.

#### **Endpoint Detection & Response**

Implement security policies for devices to ensure compliance and enforce security. Endpoint protection for Windows helps to safeguard against viruses, malware and other malicious threats.   

Advanced threat detection and response capabilities are also built in, enabling you to identify and investigate security incidents as they happen in real-time.  

To go one further than this you can also utilise Microsoft’s automated investigation and response capabilities to enhance the remediation process. All whilst providing you with detailed analytics and reporting on security threats & incidents. 

#### **Microsoft 365 Security and Compliance Centre**

The compliance centre is a centralised security management platform that allows you to monitor security & compliance.  

One key feature which we love is **Microsoft Secure Score** – allowing you to self-evaluate and audit your organisations security posture. It also provides recommendations for enhancing your security. 

Compliance management allows you to take advantage of features such as data loss prevention, eDiscovery, data retention policies, audit logging and information governance.
