Handy ResourcesWhy Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security (EM+S) & ATP are Necessary for NIST Compliance In a 2018?report provided by the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), researchers found companies “severely underestimate(d) the costs of becoming compliant by as much as a factor of 10”. The burden of compliance is significant yet important, and businesses are considering ways to secure their information systems without breaking the bank. One area of cost savings at first glance:?email only users. These individuals will likely only need a corporate email, which would reasonably lead IT leadership to purchase an Exchange Only license and carry on. Modernize your IT environment and applications with Windows Containers This is Ignite week and part of the team is in Orlando talking to customers and delivering sessions. It's amazing to see the enthusiasm on Windows Containers with more and more people stopping by to ask how they can get started and how they can containerize their first application. That's why Craig and I are doing a session today called "Modernize your IT environment and applications with Windows Containers". The idea of this blog post is to server as a reference blog for that session, with all the instructions for the demos we presented today. During the session we cover how you can containerize an 3.5 web application running on Windows Server 2008 R2 with Windows containers on Windows Server 2019.Replace passwords with a biometric security key I am deeply passionate about keeping my customers secure.? We are on a mission to eliminate passwords since they can be easily shared, leaked, or cracked.? Our goal is to replace them with strong authentication methods such as Windows Hello, the Microsoft Authenticator app, or a FIDO2 security key.? Since the July announcement of?the public preview of Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) support for FIDO2 security keys, I’ve talked to many banking, professional services, retail, and energy customers. They all have these needs in common – they want to increase security, improve user productivity, and reduce costs. One customer, a multinational conglomerate company, is driving a passwordless pilot group with their high-profile employees to reduce phishing attacks. Employees from the pilot say they better understand the security benefits and love the new key form factor. The enthusiastic response from users is helping the IT team quickly expand the pilot to more users. Inspark, a Microsoft partner in Amsterdam, even goes beyond using FIDO2 security keys to sign into apps - they use FIDO2 security?keys for physical building access.???

Adopt with intent and quickly get to value What a week here at Ignite in Orlando. It has been great to connect and hear feedback directly from some of our best customers and partners. One theme that is clear is that organizations today are looking for more from each of their software solution providers. The cyber landscape and regulatory pressure require that organizations invest and maintain significant tools, process and people to ensure compliant, private and secure information technology practices are defined and followed. As Microsoft 365 expands its solutions beyond core productivity and collaboration scenarios, stakeholders and consumers of the suite of capabilities expand into departments like Human Resources, Risk & Compliance, Legal and Privacy. Customer Proof Points We Unveiled at Ignite 2019 It's been just over a year since Microsoft GM Bill Karagounis?announced?Microsoft Managed Desktop. Since then, our close collaborations with customers and partners have produced a trove of production data on the?fantastic device experiences?that are transforming our customers' workplaces.???

Anti-forgery token and anti-forgery cookie related issues Anti-forgery token is used to prevent CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) attacks. Here is how it works in high-level: 1. IIS server associates this token with current user’s identity before sending it to the client 2. In the next client request, the server expects to see this token 3. If the token is missing or it is different, then the server rejects the request.System.UriFormatException System.UriFormatException?with?Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined?message is one of the errors that is almost always related to code. Issue with Advanced Logging creating logs IIS 7, 7.5, and 8 used Advanced Logging feature as a customized logging option. IIS 8.5 introduced Enhanced Logging which is a built-in feature. If you still have a server that is using Advanced Logging, you may run into an issue with logging. In other words, no logs are created. Classifying and Protecting Computer Aided Design with Microsoft Information Protection Intellectual property can reside in various types of document formats.

As customers have adopted Microsoft Information Protection solutions for their data classification, labeling, protection, and monitoring needs, a common request has been to ?extend the same usage paradigm to CAD and CAM authoring tools.

Integrated and intelligent data governance with Microsoft 365 Organizations are rapidly embracing digital transformation, and as a result the amount of data generated is growing exponentially across environments and endpoints. As data continues to grow, organizations are challenged with the lack of information protection and governance solutions across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments.
