One of the biggest threats to business security comes from within. Are you equipped to deal with the threat of shadow IT?<\/p>\n
Microsoft\u2019s extensive Work Reworked<\/a> report shows that with change becoming the new norm for businesses everywhere, the challenges to security lie not just from outside the organisation but also from within.<\/p>\n Throwing open the doors to cybercrime is the extensive use of non-compliant applications. As younger generations enter the workforce and expect the same kind of freedoms in the workplace that they enjoy in their personal lives, there\u2019s never been a more pressing need to stay ahead of the game.<\/p>\n The scale of the problem is highlighted in Microsoft\u2019s eBook How to Identify the Weak Links in Your Security<\/a><\/em> which reveals that while 42% of data breaches are caused by technical faults, 58% is down to human error.<\/p>\n In recognition of the challenges facing its compliance, the Mediterranean Shipping Company<\/a> (MSC) streamlined its IT offering to give easy access to approved data and tools across the company.<\/p>\n MSC is comfortable dealing with business on a global scale. So, when it came time to standardising IT tools in 148 countries it demanded an approach that reflected the way it manages its 460-strong fleet of container ships around the world: decide on the best route to a destination, and arrive there as quickly and safely as possible.<\/p>\n \u201cWe looked at Google, but Microsoft showed us that it has a more complete vision about the communication environment today and what it needs to be tomorrow,\u201d says Fabio Catassi, Chief Technology Officer at MSC.<\/p>\n In addition to Microsoft Exchange Online Protection hosted email filtering service, MSC has adopted Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection to help protect its mailboxes in real time against sophisticated attacks. \u201cThe beauty of the Microsoft approach to multilevel security is that from a central console, we can control malware detection and check attachments and unsafe links\u2014all as part of our Office 365 solution,\u201d says Catassi.<\/p>\n Global protective coatings provider, Hempel<\/a>, helps to protect all sorts of structures from damage and corrosion\u2014from ships to wind turbines, and from hospitals to containers. While its legacy platform was secure, the company realized the external threat landscape was evolving faster and faster, and knew the time had come to upgrade.<\/p>\nSingle-minded on safety<\/h2>\n
