In an Office blog post by Bret Arsenault, chief information security officer for Microsoft, a new security app for Office 365 called Microsoft Cloud App Security was announced. This new app adds additional security management features to Office 365 and is a result of Microsoft’s acquisition of cloud security developer,Adallom. Take a look at the latest security updates for Office 365:

Along with these latest security updates to Office 365, Microsoft is updating their SharePoint Online and OneDrive Business applications to utilize a feature calledCustomer Lockbox. In the event a Microsoft engineer needs access to a customers Office 365 account, they must receive approval from different levels in Microsoft. This new addition allows the customer to be involved in this approval process to allow access, speeding up the approval for the engineer.

With these newest updates coming to Office 365, how do you see organizations benefiting from these security features? Let us know in the comments.

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.
