Few tools are as critical to modern business as Microsoft 365. For many organisations, the platform is a key to remote work, global collaboration and the cloud (if not synonymous with these new ways of working).

Unfortunately, the platform’s reach and central role in the workplace also make it a prime target for cyber attackers. Often, it’s the primary vector for compromising their victims. At the same time, remote and hybrid work has only complicated security and insider-led data loss.

While Microsoft 365 is a vital productivity tool, experts such as Gartner and Forrester recommend more complete email, cloud and data security than the platform’s native offerings.
