It requires users to authenticate their identity with a combination of two or more independent factors like a username and password, personal identification number (PIN), or biometric verification.<br></p><p>2.&#160; Data Loss Prevention&#58; Data loss prevention (DLP) is a security measure designed to help protect sensitive data from unauthorized access or theft. It is an important tool for organizations that must comply with data privacy regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).<br></p><p>3.&#160; Office 365 Security &amp; Compliance Center&#58; The Office 365 Security &amp; Compliance Center is a unified console for managing security and compliance across Office 365. It provides administrators with an overview of compliance with regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001, and helps them easily configure security settings and data loss prevention policies.<br></p><p>4.&#160; Mobile Device Management&#58; Mobile device management (MDM) allows administrators to manage and secure mobile devices that access Office 365. With MDM, administrators can configure settings, deploy applications, enforce security policies, and remotely monitor and wipe devices.<br></p><p>5.&#160; Conditional Access&#58; Conditional access is a security setting that allows administrators to control how users access Office 365. For example, administrators can require users to authenticate with multi-factor authentication before they can access Office 365, or they can restrict access from certain devices or locations.<br></p><p>6.&#160; Advanced Threat Protection&#58; Advanced threat protection (ATP) is a set of security features designed to detect and block malicious emails, links, and other threats. It provides an extra layer of security to help protect users from advanced threats, such as phishing attacks, malware, and ransomware.</p></div></div><div data-sp-canvascontrol="" data-sp-canvasdataversion="1.0" data-sp-controldata="&#123;&quot;controlType&quot;&#58;0,&quot;pageSettingsSlice&quot;&#58;&#123;&quot;isDefaultDescription&quot;&#58;true,&quot;isDefaultThumbnail&quot;&#58;true,&quot;globalRichTextStylingVersion&quot;&#58;0,&quot;rtePageSettings&quot;&#58;&#123;&quot;contentVersion&quot;&#58;4&#125;,&quot;isEmailReady&quot;&#58;false&#125;&#125;"></div></div>
