Resources: Exploit Guard; Threat Mitigation; Cloud Privacy; User Identities; Office 365 Cheat Sheet

I was looking through the various links I have collected over the last few weeks and realized I had a few that have not made it to this site to share with all of you.

So this article is a catch up to list various resources including how-to's, feature explanations, and white papers about various Microsoft technologies that are important to IT Pros and System Admins.

These will be handy whether you are already using Windows 10 or the Microsoft Cloud or as you evaluate them for your own organizations use.

Moving Beyond EMET II – Windows Defender Exploit Guard

Microsoft decided to deprecate EMET last fall but received a lot of feedback from customers about that services value.

In response to that feedback, Microsoft will now incorporate many of the EMET II features into the new Windows Defender Exploit Guard which means the benefits of EMET II will be built directly into Windows instead of being a seperate program.

This article shows you those features at work and explains how you can start testing them prior to the release of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update which will happen on 17 October.
