The Office Blogannounced todaythat Office 365’s new Advance Security Management features will begin rolling out now to give organization better control over their data. The new Advance Security Management features are powered byMicrosoft Cloud App Security, which was first introduced in late February.

The focus of Advance Security Management is to better understand and protect, from what is described as your organization’s shadow IT. The shadow IT is all of the cloud services and apps employees connect to and use but are unsanctioned or not administered by your organization.

Advanced Security Management begins rolling out today to Office 365 E5 plan as an included feature. Other Office 365 plans can add Advance Security Management to their plan for an addition $3 per month. Threat detection and activity policy creation will be enabled starting today, but the ability to view application permissions and the application discovery dashboard will not be available until sometime in the third quarter.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
