Microsoft Teams is diverse. Microsoft Teams is intense. Teams benefits are huge and Teams is everything that is needed by a cloud-based business for modern-day collaboration. You heard it Right. Teams conquers all the rest. With Teams, nothing can hold back your team.

What makes Teams stand out from others? Firstly, it’s backed by Microsoft with top-notch integrated chat, video calls, file sharing features and many more.  Secondly, here are four reasons how Teams benefits a cloud business:

• Teams Gives priority to Quick Communication: Ever had a situation where you lose a client by a few seconds? That’s very common in the fast-paced communication era of today and Teams knows that best. For time sensitive communication, Teams benefits customers by providing a feature of Priority notifications to cloud business Providers where your device keeps on pinging your recipients’ device, until you finally get their attention.
• Easy communication management across Teams: with abundant communication, you seldom lose control of what was needed when, and who is going to approve the document list not to forget which email is to be forwarded to whom. Here comes the communication management part which is made easy with features like Announcements, Channel cross posting and Channel moderation (the latter two features haven’t been rolled out yet, but are in process)
• Easier Schedule management at work: There’s a Time Clock feature that allows users to log their work timings right from Teams. Another feature is @mentioning where you can send one message to all people with the same role (e.g. @cashiers)
• The Teams Ecosystem: Teams has got all that is needed for a complete calling solution with features like Call recording for compliance, Contact center solutions and integration with Workforce management and Microsoft 365 partners.

The post Four ways Microsoft Teams benefits collaboration within cloud organizations appeared first on MachSol Blog.

• Docker Analytics

The commonly diagnosed issue of a Docker is a misconfigured daemon. In essence, only a legitimate UNIX Socket can access Docker engine and this setting makes sure that the engine is not being accessed remotely. Since, Docker also supports TCP connections because one way or another remote connection is required, many a times daemons are run without “tlsverify” flag.  This makes the Docker vulnerable to attack and hence anyone within the network can send legitimately unauthenticated API requests to the Docker engine.

Once that happens, Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center’s honeypots can scan any exposed Docker daemon and Azure Security Center can alert on such behavior.

If a container is running with unnecessary high provides, it may become compromised and hence may infect the host system as well. If any such container security issues related to privileges occur, Azure Security Center detects and alerts the admin.

• Cluster Level Security

Many a times Kubernetes is used for a decent container orchestration since one Docker engine is not enough. This gives rise to security concerns as a result of privileges escalation.

Azure Security Center can detect various malicious actions like using a cluster without RBAC enabled. Once RBAC is used to manage permissions, the major risk of file exposure from the cluster is eliminated

However, this can still cause some attackers to penetrate and get files from the clustered environment therefore Kubernetes Dashboard is used to monitor and manage the cluster. Similarly Azure Security Center is also able to detect and alert suspicious request being sent to the dashboard container for added container security.

Azure Security Center benefits are promising for a secured cloud environment especially when it comes to container security. Nevertheless, there are more solutions for an end-to-end security approach, but Azure Security Center benefits include detection of problems that can potentially harm the system.
