In this week’s show, we’re talking about Office 365’s Advanced Threat Protection – otherwise known as ATP. Both of us are seeing a sharp increase in implementations of one of the key components for protection in Office 365 and there’s good reasons why. We talk about what it is – as it’s not the only “ATP” component in Microsoft 365. So we chat about those, what they are and what they do, before diving into the productivity protection product for a bit of a deep dive. Enjoy – and as always, let us know what you think…
