Need to Know podcast–Episode 321

Lots of news an updates after being a few weeks since last episode. Fear not however, they are all linked below. Plenty of really detailed and helpful articles from Microsoft of late, especially around security. All of which I highly recommend you spend time working through and implementing the recommendations. Also plenty of new features and products to cover so dive in and take a look.
