Thanks for the great material. I believe from the Spanish speakers is going to be tricky the word sanctioned. I wish it would be. Authorized and non authorized.

Great episode! Does this cover just SaaS apps being accessed in a browser or would this also include desktop apps i.e. Microsoft Teams or any of the M365 Apps for Enterprise that are installed on a users computer?
