Good administration of a Teams deployment can require a completely different set of policies and procedures from what many organizations have been using for on-premises administration. The shift to cloud only applications like Teams is causing IT departments to revisit and revise their policies to ensure users can work remotely while still getting access to the data they need. Striking the proper balance between access and security can be difficult.

In this session, Nathan O’Bryan (MCSM: Messaging, MVPr Office 365) will explore Best Practices for Securing, Managing and Recovering Microsoft Teams to ensure security, and compliance while maintaining the appropriate levels of access for end-users.

Here is the AGENDA for the summit:
