Overview 
With threat actors exploiting the current pandemic, it is even more critical for organisations to maintain control and have an accurate picture of users and access across their systems. Yet, managing access rights for multiple users (without the right knowledge and skills) can be challenging and time-consuming.

Join our webinar led by our expert instructor Karen Howells to explore how Azure's role-based access control can help your organisations manage access to Azure resources, segregate duties, and only provide access to users necessary for their job role.

Build skills to manage your security and risk strategy with Microsoft Azure Privileged Identity Management

A top priority for businesses today (in light of the abrupt shift to remote working) is limiting and mitigating against the number of employees who have access to secure information and resources. Malicious actors are now finding new and innovative ways to attack individuals, their homes and devices to gain access to corporate networks. So how do you stay ahead of these attacks?

Join our 1-hour webinar led by our expert instructor Karen Howells to learn how Azure's Privileged Identity Management features help organisations give the correct people just enough access for just the right amount of time.

Organisations have migrated to Office 365 (in hybrid or native mode) in large numbers since March 2020. For many businesses, migration was rapid. Appropriate time and resources were not available to properly plan and deploy structured information architecture and taxonomy. Eighteen months later, many organisations have realised that without a proper taxonomy and information classifications it is difficult (impossible, in some instances) to discover, protect, retain and dispose of the correct data. 

Whilst organisations cannot go back and take a more structured migration path. O365 does offer many features to manually and (or) automatically classify content such as documents, emails, teams chats and conversations. Such classifications retrospectively allow organisations to protect their data.

Join our O365 expert Phil Crayford (Principal Technical Learning Specialist, QA) to explore the available options for data classification in Office 365 i.e.

Sharepoint metadata
Sharepoint Content types
Sensitive information types
Exact data matching
Trainable classifiers
Retention Labels
Sensitivity labels

The webinar will also cover, how to automatically classify content using AI with Sharepoint Syntex

The Importance of Information Classification in Office 365

Introduction to Microsoft Azure

Since March 2020, there have been huge uptakes in Office 365 subscriptions to support WFH and an ongoing shift to hybrid working.

Many organisations are paying for Office 365 subscriptions, but their employees are not adopting new ways of working with the new features available within 0365. 

Organisations have assumed that employees would naturally ‘pick things up’ and digital transformation would ‘just happen’…. however, this (unsurprisingly) has not been the case for many businesses.

True 0365 adoption requires behavioural change yet one of the biggest problems businesses face is employee resistance to change. Hence, a robust strategy is vital to overcome this challenge.

Join our O365 expert, Phil Crayford (Principal Technical Learning Specialist, QA) to explore the fundamentals of a successful Office 365 adoption programme.

An adoption strategy is valid, whether your organisation is moving to Office 365 for the first time or your business is already subscribed to Office 365. In this short session, you will learn:

The difference between Office 365 users and adopters
Why adoption matters to businesses
Why do organisations need an adoption plan
The are obstacles to change
Who should be in your adoption team?
What a successful adoption strategy looks like
The three elements of a successful adoption plan
The role of governance
Whether there are any KPI’s to track adoption
The training available to get the most of your 0365 investment

Many organisations are improving their digital infrastructure.  They want to move towards a more data-driven environment where basic and more complex decisions are based on data available to them.  Some of these organisations start by improving the reporting tools such as Power BI.  This may work in smaller organisations but are they sure that the figures are correct, are they sure that all users are getting the best quality data to base their answers on, and even, who has the correct figures or answers?

 

Having an end-to-end strategy for the ingestion, cleansing, evaluation, exploration, modelling, and visualisations of data is a must for all organisations.  Power BI and other Microsoft tools can help with the implementation that is built on this strategy.

 

Join Mark Fitzgerald (Principal Technical Specialist at QA) to explore the end-to-end strategy, the available tools in Power BI and the training required to get clean, quality data to enable your organisation to make data-driven decisions.
