Working with Stadia Consulting Group:

With extensive knowledge across our team, we can expertly support with Microsoft Intune. This will free you up to focus on your wider business objectives, without having to worry about your endpoint environments. 

Microsoft Teams Security Capabilities

Teams offers a multitude of configurable security settings and policies, but largely, people don’t know they exist.

Did you know that you can benefit from some of the below Teams security capabilities and more?

• Safe Attachments: This is a feature designed to enhance user security by checking for, and detecting, malicious attachments. As company administrator, you can turn this on and adapt corresponding policies to ensure your end users don’t receive/act upon any malicious attachments. 
  
• Safe Links: Safe links is a feature which will scan URLs to help protect your business from malicious links used in phishing and other attacks. In a Teams setting, this will provide protection for links used in conversations, groups chats and channels. 
  
• Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Defender is available for Microsoft Teams. It helps you to determine if content is malicious and block if necessary.
  
• Secure Score: Secure Score will measure the effectiveness of an organisation’s security and it can be found at the Microsoft 365 security center. A higher number will tell you that increased action needs to be taken. As administrator, it’s important to monitor your security performance on this platform on a regular basis and act accordingly. 
  
• Information Barriers: You can use these barriers to perform actions like keeping people or groups from communicating with one another (for example – when there is no business need for them to do so).
  

On a day-to-day basis, this also means you can make use of other, more granular security settings to protect your business on Teams:

• Protected Meeting Links: With an unprotected invite link, anyone who gets hold of it can access your meeting. With enhanced security, you can set it so that only people who have been directly sent the link can join. Alternatively, anyone who has the link but is not directly invited can be held in the lobby and only granted access by the meeting owner. Or perhaps you’d like to set it up so that only internal people can join. These are all options well worth exploring.
  
• Secure File Transfer: You can also set Teams up to only allow a transfer of files if all members of a call are internal. 
  

We could go on…

Harness the full security capabilities of Microsoft Teams with Stadia

At Stadia, we help businesses who need to comply with certain CIS standards of security. We work with organisations at whatever stage they are at with their Microsoft Teams security set-up.

Just getting started? Need support with Teams Security?
Setting up new environments

For a brand new company, if you’re looking to set up Microsoft 365 and unlock the full benefits that come with it (Teams included), we can help. 

We’ll work through your requirements with you and make recommendations on which licenses you should have, which applications and which settings to make it secure and still able to deliver what you need it to.

Got an existing environment that needs updating?
Managing deployment to existing environments

Perhaps you’ve had a penetration test and now have reams of issues to resolve. Perhaps many of the security updates relate to Microsoft Teams?

We know this needs to be done right within a live environment.

You can’t break anything! You can’t interrupt the end-user workflow. You can’t disrupt meetings.

We will undertake a detailed assessment of your requirements and work closely with you to ensure nothing gets broken along the way. 

We’ll keep your own change management process at front of mind too, ensuring we’re clear on what we can do and cannot and when we can and cannot make updates.

We understand there might only be small windows of opportunity, and we’ll work around your business and your team to make sure the process is a smooth one.

Call us today to chat through your Teams security requirements.

Remote Working and the Increased Importance of Multi-Factor Authentication

While some companies have shifted back to fully office based working requirements post pandemic, many have either opted for a fully remote set-up, or more of a hybrid approach. 

While this brings about positives for employees in terms of flexibility and freedom of where to work, this can also have a significantly detrimental impact on the security of the work environment of a business (both on and off-line). 

An on-site work environment is much easier to control. Everything is operated from the physical office space and on a managed network, which the IT department oversees.

Physical presence in the office is also easy to monitor and more often than not, a stranger on site would be recognised, or other on-site security procedures would alert management to intruders. 

With remote work, the situation is a little different. Cyberthreats are far more common when a worker is remote, because they may be working outside the organisation’s network. 

Remote work also throws up numerous other threats:

• The IT team cannot necessarily control whether staff work from home, or use less secure public networks elsewhere.
  
• Nor can they control who comes into a staff member’s house!
  
• Further to this, there’s no way to ensure that a staff member doesn’t work from their own personal device, which doesn’t have the necessary company security systems in place.
  

The threat is high and the stakes higher. It’s more important than ever to have a secure user verification process.

Is your MFA solution really as water-tight as you think?

Multi-factor authentication is easily and cheaply (if not freely, depending on your licenses) available through Microsoft and the other major cloud providers.

But in order to unlock its full capabilities, you might need some extra support. 

There are numerous ways of setting MFA up, ranging from least to most secure. You can select from a host of different authentication factors to ask for.

There’s also user convenience that you need to keep in mind (which might present conflicting demands to security requirements!).

With MFA, you can set up a username and password requirement and also ask for confirmation on the relevant MFA app – and people can log in. 

But did you know that within Microsoft Azure, there’s also an additional layer of security available that’s very closely related to MFA?

Have you heard about Conditional Access?

No? Well, with Conditional Access, you can enhance log-in security even further and without inconveniencing users, by pre-programming certain access requirements: 

• You could use conditional access to only allow log-ins from certain countries (and ban others)
  
• You can set up a condition so that log-in is only permitted via registered corporate devices
  
• You can also limit log-ins to a specified IP address or range



There are many other access requirements you can explore. 

Don’t just stop at MFA.

If you haven’t explored integrated use of MFA and Conditional Access, give us a call.

Harness the full Security Capabilities of Multi-Factor Authentication with Stadia

We’ve helped many businesses to set up, or enhance their use of multi-factor authentication. It’s part of a broad range of tailored services we offer to help organisations adapt to constantly changing security threats. 

• We’ll perform an initial assessment of your requirements.
  
• Design and configure an MFA solution.
  
• Implement it without any disruption to your team.
  
• We’ll also integrate Conditional Access as required.



We can support with as much or as little as you need. 

So how do we help?

Getting started with MFA/Conditional Access?

If you’re completely new to Microsoft Azure, multi-factor-authentication, or Conditional Access, we can help. 

We’ll work through your requirements with you and make recommendations on which you should opt for, the relevant settings, and a plan to implement. 

Already have an existing Azure presence?

If you’ve already got a presence in Azure, but feel you’re doing the very minimum in terms of your security procedures, we can help. We’ll support you to incorporate MFA and Conditional Access and improve your ability to respond to threats.

We’ll undertake a detailed assessment of your requirements and work closely with you so there is no impact on daily operations as we implement changes. 

Need an upgrade?

Maybe you’re working with an outdated provider and still reliant on clunky hardware fobs for employees to log-in. If you’re at the end of a multi-year agreement and it’s time to move to a modern, smart-phone based verification solution, then we can support you with the change. 

Whatever your situation, we can help. We’ll design and implement an MFA solution to meet your security requirements without inconveniencing your users.

ORIIUM: Secure your data with the market-leader

If you’re seeking a data protection platform that provides complete protection and enables rapid recovery or restoration of lost or deleted data, then ORIIUM is a great place to look.

ORIIUM delivers market-leading backup (BaaS) and disaster recovery (DRaaS) services to a host of major clients, such as Prudential and the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Backup as a Service (BaaS):

• BaaS is a managed service for customers with data across multiple platforms. ORIIUM’s secure cloud backup provides unparalleled support for on-premise, hybrid-cloud and SaaS platforms. Data is protected at all times and can be recovered speedily on demand.

• M365 user? If you opt for the M365 protection option, you’ll also unlock complete control of your data retention duration, negating some of the issues we outlined earlier. ORIIUM’s M365 backup and recovery solution extends data protection outside of M365 to any cloud storage target of your choosing, providing additional layers of security.

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)

• This ORIIUM service mitigates the risk of ransomware attacks. Ransomware is a threat that attacks both production data sets and backup data, but ORIIUM will employ ransomware protection at multiple levels to ward off the threat.
• Ransomware attacks are now the primary reason for defining and implementing a Disaster Recovery Plan. ORIIUM SaaS will aid with this, by providing point-in-time backup and recovery, allowing IT teams to view and recover all or key parts of the data prior to an infection point.

Are you protected against ransomware attacks? Contact Stadia to discuss protection and recovery methods. 

So, what’s stopping you?

Perhaps you feel you have insufficient IT resources internally to deploy and manage ORIIUM?

Not to worry. With the ORIIUM managed service, your data is monitored 24/7/365 by a team of experts, to ensure all backup jobs complete successfully. This will remove any dependencies and resource requirements from your internal IT team.

Concerned about cost-effectiveness?

The service is entirely configurable so you can select from just BaaS or DRaaS or both service options depending on your requirements. Using both BaaS and DRaaS service options can provide a cost-effective solution that delivers both data recovery and business operation continuity.

There’s also a choice of whether you opt for a managed or unmanaged service and a range of payment options too, based on consumption. So you really can tailor the service and price point to work for your business.

Give us a call to find a price point that works for you. 

Senior management doesn’t see the need for DR (DRaaS) on top of BaaS?

It’s difficult to comprehend the importance of the data in your business until it’s gone. This is a very real threat and not one that should be underestimated or downplayed.

Why not give us a call and we can talk both you and your team through the benefits of DRaaS, and explore an ORIIUM set-up that will work for your organisation?
