InformationSecurity

A Helpful MS Teams Trick

Do you miss Skype? Unfortunately, it’s not coming back but its replacement, Microsoft Teams, has similar features. For example, did you know you can pop out your conversations into separate windows?

And if you’re sharing your screen, you can keep other conversations private when chatting while presenting. There are two simple ways to pop out a conversation from your desktop Teams Chat window:

Keeping a company’s information and systems safe requires many different disciplines to approach the problem from all sides. Security and compliance are two of these. They’re separate but closely intertwined in support of the same goal: reducing risk to the company’s information and systems. Compliance Compliance requirements come from outside sources: government, industry groups, partners, and customers. They’re a set of commitments the company is obliged to follow due to law or contractual agreements. Security Information security is the practice of “due care” with the use of technology. That is, doing what’s appropriate to limit risk in the specific circumstances, for its own sake. Finding Balance Neither compliance or security alone is sufficient to ensure a business’ stability and long-term success. Focusing too much on compliance at the expense of security can leave technical gaps. For example, if a company follows every rule perfectly by the book, but also has sloppy practices, it’s headed for disaster. Similarly, a singular focus on securing information doesn’t always satisfy compliance requirements. When combined appropriately, businesses can be sure they’re operating legally and as agreed to their stakeholders, while at the same time limiting the risk to the information they’re entrusted with.
