I've certified in both M365 security and compliance. However, the rapid pace with which Microsoft is evolving their cloud platforms means that my learning journey is constant and not a final destination. The book carves the Defender product in a way that will help anyone develop a strong security perimeter quickly. Learning the key capabilities and deployment techniques is essential. I've seen countless people set up M365 tenants and think they are safe because the put up the front and side walls, but then leave the back completely exposed. The Purview (part 3) section is critically important. My statement is that all roads lead to Purview. Your data has left the building, you need to protect your company data where it lives now. Setting up Information Protection, Data Loss Prevention, and Cloud Application Security are more important than I can convey in a blob. This book is a strong recommendation to help you on your way. Your business is your data. Learn how to protect it - or - go out of business when you lose it.
