Secure Email in and for Office 365

Migrations from on-premises email servers to hosted O365 is happening. Security needs to support the business and ensure these environments are secured accordingly.

Hosted email is unquestionably the future for organizations (barring only extremely restrictive government agencies or contractors). It is simpler to manage, increases availability, and is easier for end users. Office 365 is the clear leader in the space; however, the major concern is how to ensure organizations get the same (or better) security than when email was located on premises.


Your Challenge

  • Hosted email is the future. Doesn’t matter what industry you are in or how many end users you have: hosted email services is the clear future. For all the cloud hype five years ago, cloud-based email is hitting mass migration now.
  • Security is one of the biggest concerns for the cloud. Many organizations need to demonstrate that systems or data in the cloud are still secure. Many IT professionals have faith, but business stakeholders need more than just faith.
  • Does Microsoft do enough to protect your email? Microsoft, along with all other major cloud providers, offer a variety of native security controls. The question just becomes, are those native controls good enough for your needs?

Our Solution
