Play of the Week
By now many of us are finished with the mad rush to educate our users and start working from home. But instead of settling into a new way of working, we are now focused on adjusting to the next wave of COVID support – hybrid remote working. As each state and government decides to bring workers back to the office, the one thing we know for sure is that change is going to be our only constant. Join our call on Thursday, June 25th at 1PM to learn more about how we can embrace our new normal with the right tools.

Safe Documents is available worldwide
With Safe Documents, we’re bringing the power of the Intelligent Security Graph down to the desktop to verify that documents are safe at the endpoint itself. Although Protected View helps secure documents originating outside the organization, too often users would exit this sandbox without great consideration and leave their networks vulnerable. Bringing a minimal trust approach to the Office 365 ProPlus clients, Safe Documents automatically checks the document against known risks and threat profiles before allowing to open. Users are not asked to decide on their own whether a document can be trusted; they can simply focus on the work to be done. This seamless connection between the desktop and the cloud both simplifies the user workflow and helps to keep the network more secure. And with every malicious attack contained, the entire Intelligent Security Graph becomes stronger, benefiting everyone.
