Best practices for security and governance in share point 2013 publishedAntonioMaio2
Microsoft SharePoint provides features and capabilities enabling you to secure access, control authentication and authorize access to information. Choosing the capabilities to make use of, configuring them and understanding their impact can be a complex tax. In this session you will learn about the key security features available in Microsoft SharePoint 2013 and the best practices for using them. The sessions begin by talking about the business reasons that organizations need to consider when security their SharePoint content, and it will then review specific capabilities and options in detail with recommendations. We’ll also review various governance best practices and how they relate to SharePoint security capabilities. Throughout the session, you’ll hear examples from large commercial enterprise, government and military and about the best practices they use to secure their content within SharePoint.
Most organizations fail to adequately plan for their SharePoint deployments -- they do not understand their business requirements, nor do they assess the risks (or full benefits) of what is being deployed. This session outlines some risk management best practices as it applies to SharePoint governance planning.
SharePoint Governance: stories, myths, legends and real lifeToni Frankola
SharePoint governance starts with a 600-page document. At our 30-person company, we need a 40-person SharePoint Governance committee, and nobody can determine why a housekeeper has access to the governance document.
Have you heard this type of statement? We most certainly have. In this session, Toni will bust myths like these by providing a workable approach to SharePoint governance in small and large enterprises. We will talk about setting policies as well as what makes sense and what doesn’t. We will break down the governance plan and examine its pieces. Most importantly, we will talk about implementing these policies based on real-life use cases, where no one reads 600-page documents.
Session highlights:
- Developing a workable governance plan
- Setting realistic governance policies
- Automatizing policies implementation

Real world SharePoint information governance a case study - publishedAntonioMaio2
Many organizations recognize the need to establish a governance plan in order to “control the chaos” within their SharePoint portals. But, how do businesses truly do this in the real world? How do they develop a plan, and once they have one, put the policies and procedures which make up the plan actually into practice? What are typical challenges and what are real viable solutions? How do you move an organization to a more well-governed state when you already have a large unorganized content repository (SharePoint or otherwise)? How much responsibility do you impose on your business users, and how much do you control centrally? This session will look at solutions to these questions (and more) through two real life case studies: one of a global financial institution and the other of a Fortune 100 energy firm. These case studies will look at how they developed, implemented and promoted information governance policies and how they put them into practice for SharePoint in their enterprises. This session will also look at real software solutions (that you can build) within SharePoint to facilitate a business’ evolution from using a loosely-managed file repository to collaborating within a strongly-governed corporate information portal.
Office 365 Vancouver. A Team Approach to Azure Information ProtectionJoanne Klein
There's a lot more to implementing Azure Information Protection(AIP) than meets the eye simply because it goes far beyond the technical implementation of labels. In this practical session, we'll walk thru some steps to help set your organization up for a successful AIP rollout.
These steps include:
- how to plan your organization's AIP labels
- how to configure them for your tenant
- how to ensure information workers in your organization have adopted their use.
Each step is critical to the overall success of your AIP program and the reason why it cannot be done by the IT-Pro alone. Joanne and Charmaine team up for this session to share some practical advice and creative tips and tricks for rolling out AIP and will cover topics for the IT Pro, Information Manager, and Adoption specialist – all required resources on an AIP rollout team! You might even see an AIP bot!

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

8. List Limits
Large lists can have an impact with SharePoint performance.
By default, the list view threshold prevents operations that will
involve more than 5,000 items, such as queries that will return
more than 5,000 items or adding a column to a list that
contains more than 5,000 items.
9. List Limits
Although this is a configurable default, it is strongly
recommend that you keep it. If poorly performing queries are
used on lists with more than 5,000 items, overall throughput
can significantly decrease when you increase this limit.
10.
11. List Limits
Why? – SQL Server
SQL Server uses row-level locking as a strategy to ensure accurate updates
without adversely affecting users who are accessing other rows. However, if a
read or write database operation, such as a query, causes more than 5,000
rows to be locked at the same time, then it is more efficient for SQL Server to
escalate the lock to the entire table until the database operation is completed.
When this lock escalation occurs, it prevents other users from accessing the
table.
12. Security
The integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of your
organization’s mission-critical information rests
on how secure you make your site — specifically,
to whom you choose to grant access to your site.
Granting and restricting access to your site is
called managing permissions, and it’s one of
your most important responsibilities as a site
owner.
13. Security
Follow the Principle of Least Privilege
Give people access by adding them to
standard, default SharePoint groups (such as
Members, Visitors, and Owners).
14. Security
Use permissions inheritance to create a clean, easy-to-
visualize hierarchy.
◦ That is, avoid granting permissions to individuals, instead work with
SharePoint groups.
◦ Where possible, have sub-sites simply inherit permissions from your team
site, rather than having unique permissions.
Organize your content to take advantage of permissions
inheritance:
◦ Consider segmenting your content by security level – create a site or a
library specifically for sensitive documents, rather than having them
scattered in a larger library and protected by unique permissions.
15. Recycle Bins
Please note items in the Recycle Bins hit against quotas.
19. Sub-Sites
Being able to spontaneously create new sub-
sites can be a great benefit to your
organization.
But unrestricted site creation can get out of
hand.
When sub-sites proliferate freely, problems
can arise
20. Sub-Sites
It’s hard for users to find the right sub-site, or be sure if they have.
Information can be duplicated in several sub-sites, using up
expensive storage space, and requiring duplicated effort to
maintain.
Out-of-date information can reside on sub-sites, potentially for
years, showing up in search results. It can be hard to tell what
version of information is correct.
21. Sub-Sites (Questions to Ask)
How much information may be stored on a site? (That is, how much server disk
space can it take up?)
Who should have access to this sub-site?
How long should information be stored on the sub-site?
How long should the sub-site last?
