Turning Data into a Game Changer for Your Organization
Data can be a business’ most valuable resource—but data is also valuable to cybercriminals. Whether they want to lock an organization’s data to demand a ransom or exfiltrate it to sell on the dark web, cybercriminals have options for making money off this precious resource.
While data carries risks for an organization, it also presents major opportunities for cybersecurity professionals to demonstrate their significance.
This eBook looks at some of the high-level elements you should think about when protecting your data— and it discusses how to use data-protection activities to help advance your team’s credibility within your organization.
Zero Trust Security: Getting to “Zero” Requires a Secure Foundation
It’s safe to say today that cybercrime is as robust and evolving a tech industry as its IT security equivalents. Attacks are more frequent, more sophisticated, and more successful, requiring organizations today to shift security strategies to more secure models.
Zero Trust security is an IT security model that takes a holistic approach to network security using several different principles and technologies. In this paper, we’ll focus on why you need to first focus on foundational security, what’s entailed, and how the monitoring of events and the management of permissions—as tactical as they sound—are critical to properly underpin a strong and effective Zero Trust security model.
Case Study: RIGA Airport
RIGA Airport is one the busiest and fastest growing international airports in the Baltics. In order to allow their people and teams to effectively connect and collaborate amidst multiplying data, they deployed Microsoft® SharePoint®, which created barriers to team productivity and general data security.
The airport's biggest challenge was missing an overview of access rights and not being able to track changes to permissions as they occurred. They were looking for a solution to eliminate data security threats and improve overall governance by preventing unwarranted access rights from increasing.
With SolarWinds® Access Rights Manager (ARM), the principal solution developed by SolarWinds, RIGA Airport was able to limit access rights to a need-to- know basis, thereby helping reduce data security risks, as well as help ensure accountability and compliance with internal policies by knowing who accessed which files.

O365 Tenant Migration: Your Questions Answered
It’s been quite a year for Cloud Commander, our Office 365 to Office 365 migration tool. We’ve hit record speeds – sustaining 1 TB / hour transfer rates for Exchange Online – while also working on the world’s largest tenant consolidation project, helping one organization merge 120 individual tenants into a single service.
Director of Enterprise Migrations, Mike Weaver, recently ran a lively T2T session with our friends at Petri.com, and below you’ll find answers to the big questions that come up, like:
- How do you actually test the identity migration as you have suggested?
- Are there limitations regarding Microsoft Dynamics integration with Exchange and when you need to move the workload separately?
- Are there any special considerations when you have a mix of PC and Mac clients?
- Does eliminating an on-prem AD and moving to the Azure AD make things easier?

How Mismanaged Office 365 Licensing Can Hurt Your Enterprise
Office 365 is a powerful suite of tools, yet it's severely underutilized in most organizations.
In many cases, instead of reassigning old licenses to new employees, organizations simply purchase new licenses during the onboarding process. If you’re running a large enterprise, and you’re not actively tracking your O365 licenses, there’s a pretty good chance you’re overpaying right now.
In this blog post by Quadrotech, learn about how to avoid audits, licensing fees, and hefty fines, along with other tips to utilize Office 365 to it's fullest.

How to Close the Office 365 License Management Gap
Based on an analysis of over 3.4M Office 365 users, we found that, on average, 18% of purchased licenses are left unassigned.
What’s more, just because licenses are assigned to a user does not mean that they are adopted and actively used – so the scope to increase license efficiency in the average organization is significant.
In this white paper, you will be able to understand the root cause of the license gap and take a deeper dive into how you can salvage a large sum of your IT investment with effective Office 365 licensing.
