PA Chamber Webinar Recap: Unlocking Advanced Security Features of Microsoft 365 with James Haywood

On September 14th, James Haywood, Senior Project Coordinator with Intrada Technologies, had the privilege of being the featured speaker for a webinar hosted by the PA Chamber. The focus of this informative session was to educate attendees on the advanced security features available within Microsoft 365.  Here’s a quick recap of his presentation:

What is Microsoft 365?

For those unfamiliar with Microsoft 365, it is a subscription-based service that combines the familiar Microsoft Office programs with cloud-based applications and services. This allows users to access their documents and files from anywhere, at any time, on any device.

Why Do Organizations Need Advanced Security Features?

With the increasing number of cyber threats, organizations need to take proactive measures to protect their sensitive information. These advanced security features in Microsoft 365 provide an extra layer of protection to keep data safe and secure.

Licensing Requirements for Advanced Security Features

To take advantage of these advanced security features, organizations must have Business Premium, E-3, or E-5 licensing. These licenses offer various levels of protection and the type needed will depend on the size and needs of each organization. It is essential to carefully consider which licensing option is best for your organization to ensure adequate protection.

Microsoft CoPilot – No Official Launch Date

One of the advanced security features highlighted by Haywood during the webinar was Microsoft CoPilot. This feature, currently in development, will provide organizations with an intelligent security assistant that leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect and respond to potential cyber threats.

Cost of Microsoft CoPilot

Although an official release date for CoPilot has yet to be disclosed, it is anticipated that it will cost approximately $30 per user per month. This may seem like a significant investment, but when compared to the potential costs and damages of a cyber-attack, it is a small price to pay for added security and peace of mind.
