In today's fast-paced world, remote access to work resources is more crucial than ever.
Picture this: while on the go, your colleagues need to access Microsoft 365 using their mobile devices. The request seems straightforward. However, as an IT manager, you know that this seemingly simple task can inadvertently open the door to a slew of security concerns. Enterprises leveraging Microsoft 365 with Exchange Online face the dilemma of maintaining control over the applications used to access corporate data. The risks are palpable, from unauthorized email apps to personal cloud storage solutions.
This article will delve into five common scenarios that can give IT managers sleepless nights and demonstrate how MailZen, integrated with Microsoft 365, can effectively address and manage these security challenges.
