The Need for SharePoint Security
Overview SharePoint use is on the increase, due in part to its efficacy for team sharing, document management, portal development and other uses; and also due to Microsoft's aggressive licensing policies for SharePoint. However, many organizations have not deployed SharePoint-specific security, instead relying on security deployed at the endpoints of the network, on servers or on gateways. Given that a large proportion of organizations allow external users to access their SharePoint infrastructure, this leaves them vulnerable to a variety of threats, including malware infections and loss of data. As a result, organizations that have deployed SharePoint should also deploy SharePoint-specific security capabilities.
