Microsoft 365 Auditing

When dealing with a cloud environment, auditing user activities is a necessary security practice because users can sign in from practically anywhere. However, by using just the native admin tools, you may be missing some of the crucial details you need to fully audit user activities in Microsoft 365. Use M365 Manager Plus, the Microsoft 365 reporting, auditing, and management component of AD360, our unified IAM solution, to ease your security concerns and keep your Microsoft 365 setup intact. With M365 Manager Plus, audit major Microsoft 365 services such as Exchange Online, Azure Active Directory, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, Microsoft Teams, Sway, and more. You can also granularly audit user activities across Microsoft 365, such as permission changes, logon attempts, file and site access, and more.

Exchange Online Auditing

You need to constantly audit Exchange Online to keep mailbox issues, like spam and malware, at bay. Use M365 Manager Plus to audit and monitor not only mailbox accesses but public folder accesses, contact changes, and permission changes as well.
