The University of Toronto recently implemented a series of essential protections to secure data and collaboration tools in Office 365 (O365) as part of advanced threat protection, a Secure U (of T) initiative. Efforts followed an accelerated timeline, as heightened security risks due to the current geo-political situation have amplified the need to enhance our security protections.

“These new security features protect O365 users against security threats such as impersonation attempts, malicious attachments and links in emails, documents and more. They also improve our ability to detect and prevent security threats.” said Kalyani Khati, Associate Director, Information Security Strategic Initiatives.

This initiative is a collaboration between Information Security and Enterprise Applications and Solutions Integration.
