Moving an organization to a Microsoft 365 enterprise plan, also known as an E5 license, requires extensive preparation. The best way to ensure your organization stays on the right path is to learn from those who have already made the journey.

To better help those contemplating such a move, Trustwave will host the webinar CISO Debrief: Lessons Learned Moving to Microsoft E5 on July 11, featuring Trustwave CISO Kory Daniels and Jesse Emerson, vice president of Global Solution Architecture and Engineering at Trustwave, who will discuss the lessons Trustwave learned as it migrated to E5.

Adopting a Microsoft enterprise plan involves much more than just flipping a switch. The board must appropriate funding, legacy cybersecurity solutions must be adapted or prepped for deboarding, IT staff must be trained, and a team must be put in place to facilitate the move.

During this 30-minute webinar, Daniels and Emerson, who were intimately involved in Trustwave's E5 adoption, will discuss how to consolidate a security platform, balance risk, and rationalize your security stack, enabling any firm to build a compelling business case for moving to E5. In addition, the duo will explore the benefits of extending security operations with Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) and provide actionable insights and strategies to enhance your organization's security posture and operational efficiency.

The webinar’s talking points will include:

• Platform Consolidation and Risk Management: Learn how to effectively consolidate your security platform using E5, balance risk, and rationalize your security stack for optimal protection and efficiency.
• Building a Business Case for E5: Understand the key components of constructing a compelling business case for transitioning to Microsoft 365 E5, highlighting cost savings, enhanced security capabilities, and improved compliance.
• Extending Security Operations with MXDR: Explore how integrating Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) can extend and enhance your security operations, providing comprehensive threat detection and response capabilities.

Trustwave: The Perfect Microsoft Security Services Provider (MSSP)

Trustwave has launched six new Microsoft-focused products that will bring clients greater security, resilience, and a higher return on their investment by helping each optimize their Microsoft Office 365 E5 solution to take full advantage of all of its security features.

The new offerings leverage Trustwave's deep understanding and knowledge of Microsoft Security products to help organizations already using or considering upgrading to Microsoft 365 E5 gain the knowledge and skills needed to fully take advantage of all the security features Microsoft bundles with this product. Many of these features are either underutilized or not used at all by license owners.

Maximizing E5's value requires a multi-pronged approach. By understanding its features, training your users, and potentially seeking expert help, you can transform E5 from a license into a comprehensive security and compliance shield for your organization.
