Working from home has become a new reality for many, as more and more businesses are allowing their workers to work remotely. Teams, a platform for teamwork in Microsoft 365, combine people, content and tools that employees need to be more engaged and efficient. Microsoft has seen an incredible growth in Team use with more than 44 million daily users1—a amount that has increased by 12 million in just seven days. Those users create more than 900 million team meetings and call minutes every day as workers work from home. Employers must not only educate their staff on best practices in the area of digital security, but must also provide them with resources to counter cyber threats that can emerge from remote work.
