Expert Guide To Microsoft 365 Email Threat Protection
Security Boulevard, July 27th, 2022

This has led many security professionals to ask if Microsoft 365 Defender can provide enough threat coverage to protect their organization. They wonder if they need advanced detection such as computer vision machine learning against phishing threats and other highly targeted threats, and what tools are required beyond Microsoft Defender to keep users safe?

Why You Need Advanced Phishing Detection to Protect Email Users

Email is an important communication channel for professional and personal use. With our world being a remote work-from-anywhere on any device workforce, people use the same devices for personal and professional use. At the same time, email threats have become advanced, and signature-based detection struggles to stop these threats from today's cyber criminals. Microsoft's built-in security can detect and stop known threats. It struggles with zero-hour threats, spear-phishing, threats from trusted services, ransomware, and other complex phishing attacks. more

Using B2B Marketing Strategies To Grow Your Business
CMSWIRE, July 25th, 2022

A significant difference exists between business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) marketing. In B2C marketing, your messaging encourages an individual to purchase a product or service. In B2B marketing, businesses targetother businesses.

The automotive industry is an excellent example of B2B. Automotive companies such as Ford, Chrysler and Honda don't manufacture every piece of a car. Instead, they sign contracts with smaller manufacturers to supply items as small asscrews or as large as door modules. more
