For our continued focus on speakers at the upcoming Microsoft Ignite event on the Gold Coast we speak with Andrew McMurray from Microsoft about Azure Information Protection. Andrew’s presentation is:

Prevent unwanted and embarrassing leakage with Azure Information Protection

Microsoft Azure Information Protection helps you safeguard your data throughout the complete data lifecycle. Data is "born" protected and carries the protection wherever it travels. So you don't need to worry where it's stored or with whom it's shared - you can rest assured it's always protected. Join us to learn more about the technology and how it can solve your information protection challenges.

After getting through all the cloud news, Marc and I have a chat to an old and frequent podcast guest, Technical Solution Specialist, Enterprise Mobility and Security, Jeff Alexander. We hope this will be the first in a series focused on the Enterprise Mobility and Security Suite from Microsoft. We kick off the discussions with Jeff telling us all about Azure AD and role that it plays both on premises and in the cloud. We dig deep in how Azure AD is being used to secure the growth of mobile devices and the demands of users to have full access to their information at all times.
