One of today's biggest cloud trends is enterprise adoption of the Microsoft Office 365 suite. There is one wrinkle, though. Your business wants to move quickly to get immediate value, while your security team needs to proceed a little more cautiously to ensure they can govern usage and protect sensitive data. Can organizations move quickly and instrument the proper controls?
Join Adrian Sanabria, Senior Security Analyst from 451 Research, Shamiana Soderberg, Senior Business Development Manager Cloud Productivity from Microsoft, and Jamie Barnett, CMO of Netskope for a look at safe enablement best practices for Office 365, and the role Cloud Access Security Brokers play in this effort.
Attendees will come away with the ten real-world requirements that every organization should consider when adopting a sanctioned cloud productivity suite like Office 365. These requirements will address areas like:
- Granular administrative and user controls across the Office 365 suite
- DLP for content “at rest” within and “en route” to or from the suite
- Usage and data governance within the suite and its ecosystem

Supplemental Questions to pose to Customers Considering Google:
Do end users value fully integrated productivity, communications and collaboration across the Enterprise (e.g. messaging, video conferencing, web-based file sharing)?
Does the customer have power user needs around MS Office advanced functionality (BI using excel, professional PowerPoints, etc.)
What is the potential investment costs associated with switching to Google when considering deployment, change management, applications integration, end-user training, additional software components (e.g. connectors, middleware, client compatibility tools, etc.)?
Does it the customer have different business units (and requirements) for usability, security, data privacy, and applications integration?
Are there any pre-existing business dependencies on Office LOB (line of business) or SharePoint applications?
Are there critical architecture dependencies such as Active Directory and the ongoing need to manage and maintain these services?
What’s the customer’s strategy around risk management? Have they considered the impact of moving to ‘Google’s Island’ in terms of data sharing, security, privacy?
Does the customer view government security, compliance and cross-departmental requirements as important when implementing a broad cloud strategy.
