Microsoft 365 Security for IT Pros (2021 Edition)

Latest update: June, 2021. Subscribers can download monthly updates for this e-book.

This is the first-ever release of Microsoft 365 Security for IT Professionals; a book covering all Microsoft 365 related security solutions. Whether you have a background in Office 365 and want to learn more about Microsoft's security offerings or are coming from the security side of things and want to explore more what Microsoft has to offer, this book is for you!

The book not only explains what Microsoft's security solutions are, but also provides practical guidance on how to configure, operate and sometimes even troubleshoot the most common scenarios.

Because the book contents are updated on a monthly basis, you will keep having up-to-date information, even as Microsoft's products change. As you can imagine: this can be a huge time saver. This is our commitment: we keep working hard to keep content fresh, so you don't have to.

Until the next edition is published, your subscription allows you to download updated content to keep pace with developments by Microsoft, which means that Microsoft 365 Security for IT Pros continues to be a valuable reference for you long after you first read it.
