How Can Machine Learning and Office 365 Secure Your Data?
If this age of information has given us one important lesson to keep in mind, it’s that controlling security risks in an organization is, and should be, the first order of business. Security breaches can occur at any time and show up from any direction, so aside from hiring a service provider like Vodigy Networks for cutting-edge IT services and solutions, it’s crucial to proactively manage risks to prevent any issues from happening in the first place.
Microsoft has provided innovative and proactive security features and capabilities to their Office 365 productivity suite, which takes advantage of cloud computing and machine learning. These new solutions are part of the tech powerhouse’s approach to offering leading-edge products with strong defenses against cyberattacks for your business and its customers.
Introducing the Office 365 ATP scheme
This solution makes use of a multi-layered, complex system which safeguards applications, online storage, files, and mailboxes against various threats. A combination of threat intelligence, automated systems, and machine-learning processes allow users to create and scale defenses that secure you and your customers from threats in real time. Office 365 provides holistic protection in OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online, Visio, PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and Microsoft Teams.
Find out how safe your network is with Microsoft Secure Score and Attack Simulator
To help your firm better prepare for any cyberattacks, Microsoft has provided the Secure Score tool with Office 365 Threat Intelligence. It shows your IT staff an overall benchmark score that determines the readiness of your network and recommends the ideal controls to enable for keeping the devices, data, and users safe from any malware infection. A machine learning tool is built in so that your firm can compare its results with other companies which are in the same category or profile.
Attack Simulator is also included in Office 365 Threat Intelligence. This tool provides your IT staff with some mock phishing and ransomware attacks so that they can respond right away and tweak any configurations to the network if they are needed.
Guard your digital environment with Exchange Online Protection
While IT providers such as Vodigy Networks offer secure cloud computing environments for your company, Exchange Online Protection will keep malicious links away from your network by scanning all the content that passes by it. A feature called Safe Links works on any hyperlinks that may be provided by the content by rewriting the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) in Office 365. If the system sees that a hyperlink is unsafe, you will receive a warning that the website has been blocked, or that you should avoid the site.
Machine learning techniques create reports in real time so that your computer administrators can keep track of the users who clicked on these bad links, and the exact times that they clicked on them.
Secure your mailbox with Safe Attachments
This process lets you avoid malicious attachment from affecting your messaging environs, even if the system does not recognize their digital signatures. All questionable content is filtered through a malware analysis system that is powered by machine learning in real time, constantly evaluating the suspicious attachments for any unusual behavior.
The infected attachments are contained in a “detonation chamber” prior to being sent to the respective recipient/s. What this basically means is that your inbox will be cleaner, free from malware, and have enhanced protection from any zero-day attacks.
Know how important data security is
The average business today will use cloud computing for file sharing and collaboration services. To recognize the security advantages that Office 365 and machine learning have to offer, IT professionals should see who is using what, evaluate the possible risks that using these cloud services can bring, and educate the users on how to use Office 365 effectively.
