As we’ve covered in a previous video, Teams and SharePoint are integrated. So, every time you create a new Team or channel, a corresponding folder will be created in SharePoint. This is where all the files you upload to Teams will be stored. However, if your organisation already has a Team site with document libraries than this can get confusing, as you end up with different copies of the same document stored in multiple locations. Instead, you can add a SharePoint tab that will give your entire channel quick and easy access to your organisation’s SharePoint site, from within the Teams app.

One of the greatest features of Microsoft Teams is just how many apps are integrated into the platform. However, one of the problems this creates is having to jump between them. So let’s say I was checking on tasks, while also replying to messages and trying to add events to my calendar. To do this I’d have to be constantly clicking between the icons. However, rather than doing that, you can now simply pop up your applications into separate windows.

Missed our webinar last week? No worries! You can catch the full recording on our YouTube channel!

The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) reports that 62% of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Australia will be affected by a cyber incident.

The reality is that cybersecurity risks for SMEs increase every year. Unfortunately, many small businesses are underprepared when it comes to defending against cyber attacks and often don’t have effective response policies in place.

This leaves SME’s vulnerable to major cyber security breeches, which often prove disastrous as operations are halted indefinitely until the issue is resolved.

Recently, our managing director Jason La Macchia attended CyberCon in Melbourne – Australia’s leading cyber security conference. With a focus on ‘Resilience in a Cyber World’, this event was an invaluable experience for businesses to gain an in-depth understanding of the current cyber security landscape and the best practices to defend against emerging threats.

We’re excited to share what we learned, so on Wednesday the 9th of November we hosted a free live webinar event to help small business owners proactively secure their business data and sensitive information from outside sources.

Discussion points included:
· Cyber Security Awareness – Fostering a cybersafe workplace culture
· Remote Work – What are the challenges and potential threats?
· Threat Prevention – Understanding the risks and how to mitigate them
· The Cyber Security Skills Gap – What is it and how can we address it?
· The Essential 8 Framework

Please join us for an essential cyber security webinar for SMBs!

Webinar:
Cyber Security Update 2022
ESSENTIAL EIGHT & BEYOND
Simple steps your business can take TODAY to improve your cyber security for the future

A 2020 report by the Australian Cyber Security Centre found that 62% of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) will be affected by a cyber incident.

Unfortunately, improving your cyber security posture can often be an expensive, time consuming and frustrating process. That’s why eStorm Australia are lending our expertise! We’re extending an open invitation for a webinar we’ve developed to help owners and managers of SME’s implement simple (yet effective) cybersafe policies.

Recently, our managing director Jason La Macchia attended CyberCon in Melbourne – Australia’s leading cyber security conference. The program included a diverse range of speakers across a number of specialisations, including keynotes from Dylan Alcott, Steve Wozniak, Julia Bishop and Erin Brokovich. With a focus on ‘Resilience in a Cyber World’, this event was an invaluable experience for businesses to gain an in-depth understanding of the current cyber security landscape and the best practices to defend against emerging threats.

Join us on Wednesday the 9th of November for a brief (10-15 mins) presentation reviewing some of the key insights from the conference, followed by an open Q&A.

Discussion points include:

• Cyber Security Awareness – Fostering a cybersafe workplace culture
• Remote Work – What are the challenges and potential threats?
• Threat Prevention – Understanding the risks and how to mitigate them
• The Cyber Security Skills Gap – What is it and how can we address it?
• The Essential 8 Framework

After the short presentation, we’ll be opening the floor for an open discussion on cyber security for SMBs.

Don’t miss this opportunity to voice any questions or concerns you may have around implementing the Essential Eight, improving cyber security awareness in the workplace, and managing endpoint security!
