☁️What’s on my mind
A few days ago I was preparing the material for a webinar on Microsoft 365 Defender for Business. The deeper I dug, the more excited I got about what it will offer SMBs, especially in relation to Microsoft 365 Lighthouse, which will allow managed service providers to manage the security of all their customers who have at least one Business Premium license.
Microsoft is becoming a superpower in endpoint security.
Have a really great day.
