S for Security in EMS

Since Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) is a core component of Microsoft 365 services you need to understand what services is present within the EMS package. In the same way that Microsoft 365 services comes with a E3 or E5 service level does EMS also that. I will try to give a easy and understandable overview of all the core components of EMS within the next 5 blog posts.

We will dig into all the main topics that you se in the table below.

In the table below you will see the difference between the EMS E3 and EMS E5

By now you probably trying to figure out on some questions;

Do I need EMS in my organisation?

Witch EMS subsctiption do I need?

Should we move to Microsoft 365 subscriptions?

The short answered for this is; Yes, depends and maybe. Not much of an answer but if you stay put on the next few blog posts, I will walk through the services on what it does and what it can be used for to make it a little easier to choose the right licenses for your organisation.
