How do you visualize, measure, and reduce internal data exposure in Microsoft 365? What about detecting advanced threats like the SolarWinds attack?

Whether you write scripts in isolation or work with a team, the ability to track versions of code is essential. You may add code that ends up not working out, and the ability to reverse these changes (without manually deleting code) can save your project. In this post, I will cover how to use a Git reset command to revert to a previous commit of your code in the Git source control system, as well as the following topics:

Though this system has been designed to allow for fast, efficient system administration, it also has a spookier side: it can be abused by insiders as a tool to surveil other employees. This can be extremely useful in detecting and defeating insider threats.

Malware has become a huge threat to organizations across the globe. Something as simple as opening an email attachment can end up costing a company millions of dollars if the appropriate controls are not in place.

This post will cover how to connect PowerShell to Office 365 (Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)), which manages Microsoft 365 tenant identities and licenses. I will also cover connecting to other services and products in Microsoft 365, such as Exchange, SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams.

Our incident response team is tracking an unprecedented number of Emotet malware infections. The number of active concurrent Emotet investigations is threefold our previous high-water mark. This post will cover indicators of compromise, mitigations, and how Varonis can help you detect and stop Emotet at each phase of an attack.
