Hi Allan, I highly recommend that you join the GAM Google Group and email them your questions: google-apps-manager@googlegroups.com. Jay, the creator of GAM, frequently responds quickly. Also Ross, the creator of GAM Advanced has helped me a number of times, and even gotten on Zoom calls with me ...

So here's what it sounds like happened: There was a vulnerability in MoveIt's file transfer service Many organizations, including NSC, use MoveIT for file transfer Many universities are sending highly sensitive student information to NSC via MoveIT (names, SSNs, DOB, demographic information, etc.) ...

Hi Ken - Did you move from a different EDR solution to Microsoft? What has been your experience managing Defender for Endpoints with Macs? Any pitfalls? Why did you choose Microsoft's solution? Were you already a Microsoft shop? Is there a reason you chose it over Crowdstrike, Sentinel One, or other ...

Hi Christine, Out of curiosity, do you wish you had gone with Falcon Complete earlier? We are considering a Crowdstrike implementation and it would seem that FC would ensure a "proper" implementation and that they would be able to assist us in configuring our environment and automation rules. Is that ...

EDIT: Oh goodness. Just saw the typo in the title. That's embarrassing. Hopefully the mistake garners more attention to this post. Has your institution ever changed EDR solutions? If so, are you able to share: What Solution did you abandon? Which Solution did you migrate to? Why did you change ...

Hi Nicole, I asked Crowdstrike about this. Here's my question and their response: Question: Is Crowdstrike able to remove malware/PUPs that it detects on machines? Or does it primarily kill/quarantine the process until the technician removes it? Answer: Yes, CrowdStrike is able to detect, prevent ...

Hi Nicole! Thanks for your comments. We're currently looking at Crowdstrike as a possible EDR solution. You said: "We also have Malwarebytes that is deployed on most workstations to provide a way to remove PUPs etc from the endpoints as CrowdStrike doesn't have that ability - plus we can do on-demand ...

Hi Kevin! I'm not quite tracking what you're saying. You said you created a separate OU for Shared Drives distinct from your affiliation-based OUs, but you also said that you enabled the setting that defaults new Shared Drives to the creator's OU. So doesn't that mean that all new Shared Drives would ...

Hi Ian - That's exactly what I was thinking, so I'm glad to have some validation. My only hesitation was that it seems as if the intended use case for shared drive OUs was to have shared drive policies match appropriately with the division/department they might belong to. E.g. you could assign shared ...

Hi All, We are about to implement storage quotas on Shared Drives. Doing this requires Shared Drives to be organized by OU. Currently, our OUs are organized by users' primary affiliation (e.g. Faculty, Staff, Student, Alumni, etc.). Shared Drives often involve cross-functional collaboration, particularly ...

Our criteria is even looser. Since we inform our users that all members added to a Shared Drive will have access to all of the contents in that drive it effectively addresses your first criteria (and third, to an extent). Also, we already have organizational policies that personal data doesn't belong ...

I'm seconding Brandon Dieterich's recommendation. We created a "Shared Drives Migration" admin role, and we intend to assign it to all faculty and staff in our environment (temporarily, hopefully) for a mass effort in migrating data to shared drives. Do note that there are consequences to doing ...

This is true, though to be fair, this doesn't really have anything to do with the admin role, and is just how Shared Drives work. Any members added to a Shared Drive will see all the contents within that Shared Drive. This means that users will likely have to reorganize some of their content ...

Could this be mitigated by modifying sharing permissions in a given domain or OU? ------------------------------ David Walton Information Security Specialist and IT Systems Analyst Biola University ------------------------------

Hi all, Like many of you, we have announced storage quotas to our community, and we have discontinued email services for alumni. We have told alumni that they can transfer their Google data to a free, personal Google account with 15 GB of data using Google Takeout. We identified that Google Takeout ...

Hi Nathan, That would be great! I figured it was possible with GAM, but don't see any public documentation on specifically how to do this. Would you be willing to share your GAM script? ------------------------------ David Walton Information Security Specialist and IT Systems Analyst Biola University ...

Hi all! Is there a way to prohibit users in your Google Workspace (or a specific OU) from hiding their calendars? We have an issue with employees hiding their Google calendars, which makes it difficult for staff and administrators to schedule meetings. Despite making free/busy the default and telling ...

When you chose to move to LastPass, what solidified the selection of 1Password? Did you assess other services as well? If so, which ones?

I don't know if this is true for 1Password, but with LastPass if you do get a site license then it also provides "free" LastPass Premium for all students (clearly with the hope that students get hooked on LastPass and continue paying after graduation). When we ran the math we found that the price ...
