SECURING BUSINESS-CRITICAL DATA
IN THE AGE OF MICROSOFT 365
Microsoft 365 has become the backbone of enterprise productivity, with applications like Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams powering the daily operations of businesses worldwide. However, as reliance on M365 grows, so does the risk to the critical data stored within.
According to Rubrik Zero Labs, 94% of IT and security leaders reported their organization experienced a significant cyberattack last year. And of that 94%, 64% of IT and security leaders said they were attacked through their SaaS environments making it the most targeted type of environment.1
Many IT leaders assume that Microsoft fully protects their M365 data, but the reality is more complex. Under the Microsoft Shared Responsibility Model, securing and backing up data remains the customer’s responsibility. The native data protection tools provided, while helpful for short-term retention and eDiscovery, often fall short of enterprise requirements for truly robust, long-term data resilience.
This gap between assumption and reality leaves business-critical information vulnerable to attack or loss, with severe potential impacts on business continuity, productivity, and compliance. For IT administrators and application owners already straining to minimize downtime, ensure availability, and streamline complex environments, the added burden of data protection creates urgent challenges.
