Topics include:
Vulnerabilities: Microsoft Project, like any software, may have vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers. It is important to keep your software up to date with the latest security patches and updates.
Enable automatic updates or regularly check for updates from Microsoft and apply them promptly.
Malware and phishing attacks
Weak passwords
Unauthorised access Data backup and recovery
Network security Secure file sharing
Cybersecurity best practices
Regular security audits
By implementing a range of measures, you can enhance the security of your Microsoft Project software, hardware, and files, reducing the risk of cyber threats and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data.
Security specialists can also assist businesses with Cybersecurity. This blog from a leading security and counter-surveillance company highlights the Top 5 Cybersecurity Risks in Software and Hardware (opens in a new window)

Fast track Project training sessions are highly-focussed intensive training sessions delivered in short bursts to
give busy people the essential skills they need in the shortest possible time.
Our fast-track Project courses are a quick way to transfer essential skills in the shortest possible time - useful for busy
staff members unable to undertake comprehensive training.
Fast-track courses are suitable for a variety of purposes and can, for example, be used by busy professionals to see what's new in Project. The following is an example of topics typically covered:
Project 2016 has all the
functionality and features you're used
to, with some added enhancements and new
features.
Here are some of the top
new features you'll find in Project
2016:
More flexible timelines
With
Project 2016, not only can you leverage
multiple timelines to illustrate
different phases or categories of work,
but you can also set the start and end
dates for each timeline separately, to
paint a clearer overall picture of the
work involved.
Better control over resource
scheduling
Some resources have
limited availability, and may have their
time scheduled by a resource manager.
With Project Professional 2016 and
Project Online, project managers and
resource managers can negotiate an
agreement, called a resource engagement,
to make sure that resources are being
used appropriately and effectively
throughout your organization.
Important Resource engagements only
work if you're using Project
Professional 2016 or Project Pro for
Office 365, connected to Project Online.
If you are not connected to Project
Online, the resource engagements
functionality will be hidden from view.
Project Standard 2016 does not include
resource engagements.
How does it
work? When a resource manager sets up
the enterprise resource pool in Project
Online, he or she can identify some
resources as requiring approval to be
assigned to projects.
When a project
manager decides to use one of these
resources on a project, he or she
submits an engagement request with the
date range for when the resource is
needed, and either a certain percentage
of that resource's time during that date
range, or a set number of hours during
that date range.
The resource manager reviews this request, and can accept it, suggest changes, or reject it. The project manager refreshes the engagement status in the new Resource Plan view in Project Professional 2016 to see the resource manager's response.
Do things quickly with Tell Me
You'll notice a text box on the ribbon
in Project 2016 that says Tell me what
you want to do. This is a text field
where you can enter words and phrases
related to what you want to do next and
quickly get to features you want to use
or actions you want to perform. You can
also choose to get help related to what
you're looking for.
New themes for Project
There are
now three Office themes that you can
apply to Project 2016: Colorful, Dark
Gray, and White. To access these themes,
go to File > Options > General, and then
click the drop down menu next to Office
Theme.
