Times have changed, specifically for the worse when it comes to how easy it is to attack your data in the cloud. That is not necessarily due to the advent of cloud technologies themselves, but rather because automation is free and cheap.

In the past and even today, we are used to “share” documents and files by sending copies as email attachments.

Customers who have the First Release option turned on within their tenants were treated to a welcome surprise this weekend: Additional Groups features!

With that in mind, I decided to do a quick recap to put together an updated list of important improvements that everyone should at least know about.
