Almost every Company allows users to access Corporate Data from their personal mobiles and tablets and Home Computers.  But one strange fact is that while the I.T. Team takes great care to protect the Work PC by applying patches centrally , locking down the device and monitoring them, they are absolutely clueless when it comes to managing the User owned device like Mobiles , Tablets and personal Computers. It’s like putting 3 locks on your main door but leaving your Windows wide open. As a result , the User Devices constitute the biggest threat to Companies in terms of data loss and Cyber Crimes.

Partial Offline Sync of Cloud files in One Drive For Business

Office 365 Productivity Platform comes bundled with One Drive for Business which can store One Terabyte of Documents . You can also sync the One Drive For Business ( ODFB) with your PC . However , so far the issue was that the complete ODFB would sync offline. A common feedback from Customers was that it would be great if they could selectively sync the folders offline as they were not keen to have their full ODFB synced. This functionality was always present in the Consumer One Drive .

The good news is that the selective sync is  finally available on ODFB

Email Security. Monitor Email Forwarding

Email is the de facto mode of Communication in any Organization. But it is also emerging as number one source of data leakage due to its wide use. One common way of data leakage is when a user puts a forwarding rule by which all his mails get auto forwarded to his personal Email id. When such a setting is done without proper authorization , it leads to Data Leakage. And even the poor IT Admin cannot do anything as he does not get notified about this.

However, with Exchange Online , which is the World’s BEST Email system and is part of the Cloud Productivity Suit  Office 365 , the IT Admin can  run series of commands to identify such users.
