There are various mechanisms of backup access isolation that can be employed but it seems to be a very gray area in terms of an explicit definition.

For example, I think about several access related configurations that could involve Role based security, MFA, SDN, Firewall, WAN, etc.

Has anyone done a Box to O365 migration? Looking for some ideas/thoughts.
