Need to Know podcast–Episode 251

I’m joined in this episode by MVP Lisa Crosbie to talk about what’s new in the Power Platform, especially Project Oakdale or as it was known when we recorded it, Microsoft Dataflex. Lisa shares with us what this technology is all about, how it integrates and the benefits it can provide businesses.

There is also cloud news and updates from Microsoft at the top of the show, as usual to keep you up to date.

Azure Information Protection

@directorcia

New templated email policies

If you dip into your Microsoft 365 Security and Compliance Center, then into Threat Management and then into Policy as shown above you might some new Templated policies.

This will allow to select from two ‘best practices’ policies for your email protection from Microsoft. There is a standard and a Strict protection option.

You’ll find details about these here:

Preset security policies in EOP and Office 365 ATP

and if you want to know the low level settings that use you can find that here:

At the moment they are not enabled by default, but I can see the day when at the least the Standard template will be applied to all new tenants.

Of course, these are just a starting point for securing your email environment in but I certainly recommend that you do start with these templates because they apply a lot of best practices quickly and easily. They also configure not just Exchange Online but also Office 365 Advanced Threat protection (ATP) if that is part of the tenant.

August poll

For August I’m asking people:

Are you considering or using Microsoft Defender ATP in place of other third party anti virus and end point security solutions?

which I greatly appreciate you thoughts here:

You can view the results during the month here:

https://bit.ly/ciaresults202008

and I’ll post a summary at the end of the month here on the blog.

Please feel free to share this survey with as many people as you can so we can get better idea of what people are thinking when it comes to Microsoft Defender ATP.

Announcing the CIAOPS Azure Sentinel online course

If you want to get started with Azure Sentinel and don;t know quite where, then I have created an online course just for you.

You’ll find it here:

https://www.ciaopsacademy.com/p/getting-started-with-azure-sentinel/

Azure Sentinel is a cloud based security information and event management (SEIM) tool that you can easily connect to various data sources, both on premises and in the cloud. Once events are flowing you can then use Sentinel to analyse and report on those events quickly and easily as well as take automated actions if desired.

This course is aimed at helping you get up and running with Azure Sentinel quickly by introducing you to its main features and then showing you how to configure the most important settings to get it working for business.

If you want to quickly and easily ingest security logging data, analyse, report and act on that then Azure Sentinel is for you and this course will show you how to get up and running quickly. Inside you’ll find video tutorials, references, best practices, how-to’s and more.

I’ll continue to add more material to the course but once you sign up you’ll always have access to all the content.

Look out for more online courses coming soon.
