The Digital Workplace, remote offices and Microsoft 365: As the role of the user is becoming key in data protection, we have worked with Microsoft teams on mapping the [security features that are critical to Microsoft 365](https://blog.idecsi.com/data-security-microsoft365?hsLang=en). This partnership offers companies better visibility regarding how to build comprehensive and optimized user-oriented security.

## **Work efficiency, user empowerment and security**

Today, **malicious activities, whether external or internal, to which users increasingly fall prey**, are often the entry point for heavy attacks. Thanks to **collaborative tools** and communications solutions, users can now configure their own workspaces, and authorize access to and the sharing of their data and the their company’s data. **This development greatly enhances the opportunities for collaboration and the effectiveness of exchanges.**

In this context, one of the major challenges is to **be able to detect and immediately stop a malicious or dangerous action, before dramatic consequences occur.**  Reinforced by the Covid-19 crisis and **teleworking**, **digital security** has become, more than ever, a strategic dimension.

The stakes are now twofold:

- First, being able to perfectly master the configuration, permissions and rights, synchronizations and legitimacy of access: who does what? Who can access which data? In what spaces? To do what? On what resources?
- And, regarding concrete key objectives, avoiding the impacts of successful phishing, human error, anonymous outside sharing, or the abuse of rights, for example.

## **Microsoft solutions – IDECSI: strong optimization of data security and collaborative spaces – Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams**

Microsoft offers a suite of advanced solutions for Office 365 security with coverage of core issues such as strong authentication (Azure AD), **classification and protection of email and sensitive documents** (Microsoft Information Protection),** device management** (Microsoft Endpoint Management), threat detection (Office 365 ATP), and **anomaly detection in SaaS applications** (MCas).

 

> *“For the past 2 years, IDECSI’s teams have benefited from exchanges and partnerships with Microsoft’s teams and are working on an increasingly virtuous integration in favour of companies that benefit from a Microsoft 365 environment.”* **Daniel REZLAN, President of IDECSI & co-CEO.**

## **MyDataSecurity**

Thanks to IDECSI’s [MyDataSecurity](https://www.idecsi.com/fr/solution/mydatasecurity/)and its specialized functions on collaborative spaces, **IDECSI makes it possible to connect devices to users and ensures the devices’ security features, as well as their ergonomics and efficiency.**

MyDataSecurity is available as a web-based version or as a mobile app:

- **Each user has an interactive dashboard**, which allows him to visualize at a glance all of his resources’ security points: who can access his messaging service, his calendar, his contacts? From where? Who is a member of his Teams? What is he sharing on his SharePoint and OneDrive? Which configurations/policies are active?
- **The user is alerted of any changes or potentially dangerous action on his data by a push notification.** Users are informed immediately and consulted as soon as an access instance, a setting, or an action that does not correspond to their configured profile occurs. If the action is legitimate this is a “green button” situation; they confirm and IDECSI automatically updates itself. If the action is illegitimate, it is time for the “red button”; they invalidate it and a remediation workflow is launched and/or information is immediately communicated to the SOC and SIEM.

> *“User engagement is a central issue, with two major interrelated challenges: improving security and optimizing costs. Here these two elements take an important step forward thanks to the partnership between IDECSI and Microsoft.”.*** Daniel BÉNABOU, General Director of IDECSI & co-CEO.**

## **Modern workplace – Modern security**

Associated with Microsoft solutions, MyDataSecurity enables the expected **participation and evolution of the user’s role in maintaining security**. Indeed, even for the most security-conscious**, users and the company are often powerless in the event of an incident** if they are unable to see that a problem is affecting their resources and data.

Thanks to its “out-of-the-box” configuration, and as an expert, ready-to-use solution, IDECSI brings a new dimension to this,

- **It complements and enhances the company’s detection capability and reliability,**
- **Increases the effectiveness of incident remediation, and helps to raise user awareness of data security.**

The Microsoft and IDECSI teams have worked on a mapping of the major essential security functions of Office 365. This document gives companies better visibility over the construction of a global and optimized program. In many use cases, it presents the relevance and advantages of linking IDECSI and Microsoft.
