E-book: Definitive Guide to Office 365 Data Protection

Today, data loss prevention (DLP) efforts must go beyond traditional on-premises email servers to include anywhere corporate data lives in the Cloud. This e-book, sponsored by McAfee®, is your definitive guide to key topics about data protection and the Microsoft® Office 365 suite of cloud applications.

Microsoft® is one of the leading cloud service providers at enterprises around the world. The company’s Office 365 suite ensures enterprises always have the latest versions of Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook, as well as cloud-based collaboration and productivity platforms OneDrive, Exchange Online, Yammer, and SharePoint Online. However, due to an ever-changing web of regulations – including internal policies, federal, state, and local jurisdictions, as well as global bylaws like the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – organizations are now required to safeguard sensitive or protected information in cloud services like Office 365.
