Do you know what really happens behind the scenes when a user creates a new Team in Office 365? (More than you think!)

Where do files go when you share them with a Teams channel? (Hint: check SharePoint.)

How can an O365 admin see which sensitive files have been shared outside a Team via links? (Do you have an hour?)

Let our experts walk you through the common challenges we see in the field and show you how Varonis can help you get the visibility and control you need to keep O365 data secure and compliant.
