Are you looking to save money on security products for your business? In this video, you’ll learn how you can save up to 179% by using only Microsoft’s security products included in their 365 plans. First, let’s compare Microsoft 365 Business Standard, which costs \u00a39.40 per user per month, and Microsoft 365 Business Premium, which costs \u00a316.60 per user per month. The difference in price between the two is \u00a37.20 per user per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Microsoft 365 Business Premium, you get access to more advanced security products than Business Standard, such as Defender for Office 365, which is just as good as any third-party tool out there. Businesses often buy a third-party email security tool, but Exchange Online Protection is included with every mailbox in Microsoft 365, and Defender for Office 365 offers more advanced protection. The same goes for email archiving, which is a part of Microsoft 365 Business Premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most businesses also install third-party antivirus software, but Microsoft 365 includes antivirus software to protect all devices in your business against malware and ransomware. EDR software, which is necessary to protect against sophisticated cyber attacks, is also included in Microsoft 365.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, multi-factor authentication (MFA) is built into Microsoft 365, and while Duo offers more advanced features, Microsoft’s MFA is free and just as effective for most businesses. Hard drive encryption software is also crucial for portable devices, and Microsoft offers it as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While some businesses may still need third-party tools, many can save money by using only Microsoft’s security products. By upgrading to Microsoft 365 Business Premium, your business can save up to \u00a386.40 per user per year, which is a 179% cost savings compared to buying third-party security tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
