This is an "Introduction to Office 365" session that I performed to the SharePoint User Group in Geneva in March 2014.
I cover the architecture of Office 365 (and related technologies) and focus in on SharePoint Online and the administration tools.
I also discuss a few "Cloud" based topics that are not necessarily Office 365 focused, but considerations that you should think about before engaging ANY cloud provider.
*UPDATED* These are slides that were present at SharePoint Saturday Vancouver. They have been updated as of 14 April 2018.
Description: You got Office 365 and you need to use it. You need to let others in your organization use it because you were designated the admin but you can't spell Office 365... yet. Where do you start? In this session, you will learn about the basics of administering Office 365 through the Admin Centers and where to start.
1. Be introduced to Office 365
2. Learn how to setup and manage users
3. Learn how to add your organization's domain
4. Learn about the Office 365 Admin Center and the other 3 major admin centers: Exchange, Skype for Business, and SharePoint (old and new).
5. Best practices, tips, and tricks along the way
Simple, Straightforward, and Jargon-Free Answers to basic questions including:
What is Office 365?
What is Office 365 used for?
How much does Office 365 cost?
Is Office 365 secure?
How does Office 365 stack up against the competition?
How difficult is it to migrate your existing files?
To help you make an informed decision about whether Office 365 is right for your business.
In this informative 60-minute webinar we will help you build your timeline, prepare your move, and learn ways to work with your users for a smooth transition. We’ll also discuss how to leverage SharePoint, Yammer, and One Drive for Business to truly realize the value they can offer. You will walk away being able to:
• Build your own timeline for moving to the cloud
• Understand the challanges in planning your Office 365 migration
• Know how to leverage the features of Office 365

10 Things Many IT Professionals Don’t Know About Office 365Richard Harbridge
There is great guidance out there on how to migrate your Exchange environment the right way, or how to configure SharePoint Online to work well with your on premises environments. Understanding these things as well as identity planning, management, and how to manage Office 365 services is a requirement for any IT Professional working with Office 365. Would you be surprised to know that there are many other things an IT Professional should know about Office 365, but often doesn’t? Join Richard Harbridge as he goes beyond Office 365 fundamentals for IT Professionals and digs into the common things that many IT Professionals don’t seem to know about Office 365, may overlook, and what you can be done about it.

If you’re already using or thinking of moving to Microsoft Office 365, you’ll need to think about where to store your precious documents.
Microsoft SharePoint integrates with Office 365 and allows organisations to set up a centralised, password protected space to store and manage documents, create an intranet and collaborate on projects.
In this webinar with charity IT experts, Co-Operative Systems, we look at:
• What is SharePoint and why use it
• Key features explained
• Migrating to SharePoint and what it doesn't say on the tin
• Practical demonstration of how SharePoint works
• Question & Answer

Security and Compliance with SharePoint and Office 365Richard Harbridge
Whether you’re new to security and compliance in Office 365 or a seasoned veteran, we’ll have something for you in this session. Hear about Microsoft’s overall security story from Microsoft MVP Richard Harbridge, and better understand how it relates to SharePoint services, catch up on new developments over the past year, and learn about the new capabilities Microsoft provides. From advanced security management and threat intelligence to sensitive content encryption, governance and sharing there is plenty to discuss.
Building and maintaining your information architecture (IA) in SharePoint is an important and ongoing operational activity.
As Microsoft Teams quickly spreads across your organization, its fast-paced deployment and ease-of-use capabilities make it a powerful hub for team collaboration, but can also mask the complexity of its underlying IA needs.
In this IntraTeam (https://intrateam.dk) webinar (held January 30, 2019), Microsoft MVP & RD Christian Buckley provided an overview of the unique IA considerations for Teams with the goal of helping viewers better understand the interdependencies and gaps to be filled as their Teams planning gets underway.
In today's business environment, productivity and profitability depend on how well you communicate, collaborate, produce content and share knowledge. But are your current systems up to the challenge?
In our new white paper, The Business Value Of Office 365 To The Enterprise, we'll show you how to transform your organization by channeling your important business activities through this single cloud-based platform.
You'll learn how Office 365 helps you to:
- Streamline knowledge-sharing through document management
- Enhance productivity using anywhere, anytime mobile access
- Drive innovation with Yammer and other social enterprise capabilities
- Manage and automate workflows for optimum productivity
- Communicate, collaborate and co-author documents
- Improve specific business departments, such as HR, sales and operations
Create a single source of truth
The starting point for building a data-driven culture is establishing a single source of truth. We make this easy with Power BI, a modern BI cloud service that connects to all of your data, wherever it lives, in the cloud or on premises, Microsoft or non-Microsoft. It delivers insights to you in any way, anywhere, from mobile to web, as well as embedded in apps, both first party and third party. Office 365 further extends this with versions that allow you to quickly look at differences, auditing and roll back, allowing you to confidently manage the single version of truth.
Analyze & visualize data
The next step is to make it easy to analyze and explore data, then share it out seamlessly. Here we deliver the industry leading analyst tool with Excel, which allows you to ask questions at the pace of your business transformation, in a tool you use daily. Sometimes it's easier for us to spot trends and outliers when data is presented visually. Power BI makes visualization simple and easy. Sometimes we want both. Power BI integrates natively with Excel, so users can easily dive deeper into visualizations from Excel and vice-versa. Together with Visio, you can visualize complex process flows directly into Power BI.
Run your business in real time with live dashboards
All of the visualizations and dashboards you create in Power BI, Excel, and Visio can be programmed to update in real-time, so that you can react to opportunities and threats as soon as they appear.
Put insights at the center of teamwork
Lastly, with the growing importance of teamwork in the modern workplace it’s critical that teams can collaborate on data in real-time. Power BI and Excel both integrate natively with Teams and Office 365, making it easier to create consensus based on data.
Conclusion
All of these capabilities add up to better, faster decision-making – a 2017 study by Forrester found that with Microsoft 365 E5 employees make decisions in 18% less time – think about how much faster your business could move with decisions made in hours or days rather than weeks.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

83. Delegated Administrators
You can give your preferred MS Partner “Delegated Administrator” access to
your tenancy
They can now log into your Tenancy Administration pages and make changes
on your behalf
Delegate Administration means you do not have to purchase a license for your
MS Partner to support you
And they don’t have to maintain account details for every client!
84. What the marketing tells you
No upfront “infrastructure” costs
Simple per user per month licencing cost
It’s always there (99.9% uptime – Financially backed!)
Access Anywhere, Anytime on Any Device
You will save money
It’s quick, easy and idiot proof
There is no downside
It’s the future
We are “all in”
It what you should be doing…..
85. What the marketing doesn't tell you
Upfront Costs
Awareness, education and training on new systems
You still need to “design” your cloud environment
You still need to migrate your content into The Cloud
You might need to invest in faster / more robust Internet connectivity
De-provisioning costs of existing infrastructure
Supporting Architecture – DirSync / ADFS – Single Sign-On
Vendor Lock-in
Lack of control of the platform
You will (should) save money if you do it right and have a medium to long term
strategy
How good is your MS Partner at setting up and configuring the services?
86. Service Continuity
Redundancy
Physical redundancy at server, datacenter, and
service levels
Data redundancy with robust failover capabilities
Functional redundancy with offline functionality
Resiliency
Active load balancing
Automated failover with human backup
Recovery testing across failure domains
Distributed services
Distributed component services like Exchange
Online, SharePoint Online, and Lync Online limit
scope and impact of any failures in a component
Directory data replicated across component
services insulates one service from another in any
failure events
Simplified operations and deployment
Monitoring
Internal monitoring built to drive automatic
recovery
Outside-in monitoring raises alerts about incidents
Extensive diagnostics provide logging, auditing, and
granular tracing
Simplification
Standardized hardware reduces issue isolation
complexities
Fully automated deployment models, making
deployment easier than ever
Standard built-in management mechanism
Human backup
Automated recovery actions with 24/7 on-call
support
Team with diverse skills on the call provides rapid
response and resolution
Continuous improvement by learning from the on-
call teams
87. Service Continuity
Continuous learning
If an incident occurs, regardless of the
magnitude of impact we do a thorough post-
incident review every time
Our post-incident review consists of analysis of
what happened, our response, and our plan to
prevent it in the future
In the event your organization was affected by
a service incident, we share the post-incident
review with you
Consistent communication
Transparency requires consistent
communication, especially when you are using
the service
We have a number of communication channels
such as email, RSS feeds, and the very
important and highly relevant Service Health
Dashboard
Consistent communication
88. Trust - Security
Is your Cloud Provider Secure?
Do you “Trust” your cloud provider with your data?
What accreditations does you Cloud provider have (e.g. IL2 / IL3)
Are there any recorded security breaches?
What level of security to you actually need?
Could YOU do a better job of securing your own data?
Security of Data at Rest
Security of Data in Transit
89. Trust - Privacy / Data Protection
Where is your data?
The laws of the land in the location where your data is stored
Check the small print of your Service Providers Terms and Conditions
Who owns your data?
And what can they do with it?
PRISM
Safe Harbor
Additional questions are:
Just how private is your data REALLY?
Are hackers REALLY going to be interested in YOUR data?
If yes, then can your Cloud provider provide “at least the same” level of privacy control that
you could do yourself?
90. PRISM
Clandestine mass electronic surveillance data mining program
Operated by the US National Security Agency (NSA) since 2007
Collects stored Internet Communications based on demands made to Internet companies such
as Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Facebook, PalTalk, YouTube, Skype, AOL, Apple
Provides – E-mail, Chat (Video & Voice), Videos, Photos, Stored data, VoIP, File
Transfers, Video Conferencing, Notifications of target activity (logins, etc), Online Social
Networking details, Special Requests
US as a World’s Telecommunications Backbone
Much of the worlds communications flow through the US
A target’s phone call, e-mail or chat will take the cheapest path, not the physically most
direct path – you can’t always predict the path.
A target’s communications could easily be flowing into and through the U.S.
91. US-EU Safe Harbor
Streamlined process for US companies to comply with EU Directive on the
protection of personal data
Companies operating in the EU are not allowed to send personal data to
countries outside of the European Economic Area unless there is a guarantee
that it will receive adequate levels of protection
Intended for organisations within the EU or US that stores customer data, the
Safe Harbor Principles are designed to prevent accidental information
disclosure or loss.
US companies can opt into the program as long as they adhere to the 7
principles outlined in the directive.
92. US-EU Safe Harbor Principles
Notice – Individuals must be informed that their data is being collected and
how it will be used
Choice – individuals must have the ability to opt out of the collection and
forward transfer of the data to third parties
Onward Transfer – Transfers of data to third parties may only occur to other
organisations that follow adequate data protection principles
Security – Reasonable efforts must be made to prevent loss of collected data
Data integrity – Data must be relevant and reliable for the purpose it was
collected for
Access – Individuals must be able to access information held about them, and
correct or delete it if it is inaccurate
Enforcement – There must be effective means of enforcing these rules

95. Office 365 – Data Center Locations - Brazil
For customers located in Brazil, the primary data center for SharePoint Online
is in Brazil. For customers provisioned for Exchange Online after October
30, 2011, a data center in Brazil is used interchangeably with a data center in
the United States as the primary data center. For customers provisioned for
Exchange Online prior to October 30, 2011 the primary data center continues
to be in the United States.
96. Control - Or rather the lack of
You no longer control the platform
You no longer have control over platform updates
What warning / communication do you have of impending updates?
How do you test your configuration / customisations against impending updates?
What support capability is offered? /what are the SLAs?
97. Cost benefits
Compare on-premises to cloud for certain scenarios
Focus on running your company rather than being an IT company that makes some
widgets
Short, medium or long term investment?
Capital Expenditure to Operational Expenditure
98. CapEx vs OpEx
CAPEX OPEX
Definition:
Capital expenditures are expenditures creating future benefits. A
capital expenditure is incurred when a business spends money either
to buy fixed assets or to add to the value of an existing asset with a
useful life that extends beyond the tax year.
OPEX refers to expenses incurred in the course
of ordinary business, such as sales, general
and administrative expenses (and excluding cost
of goods sold – or COGS, taxes, depreciation and
interest).
Also known as: Capital Expense Operating Expenditure, Revenue Expenditure
Accounting treatment:
Cannot be fully deducted in the period when they were incurred.
Tangible assets are depreciated and intangible assets are amortized
over time.
Operating expenses are fully deducted in the
accounting period during which they were
incurred.
In throughput accounting: Money spent on inventory falls under CAPEX.
The money spent turning inventory into
throughput is OPEX.
In real estate term: Costs incurred for buying the income producing property.
Costs associated with the operation and
maintenance of an income producing property.
Examples:
Buying machinery and other equipment, acquiring intellectual
property assets like patents, furniture and fixtures
Wages, maintenance and repair of machinery,
utilities, rent, SG&A expenses, license fees,
office running expenses
