Microsoft 365 is the productivity engine of your organization, but its criticality makes it a primary target for cyberattacks. A staggering 600 million cyber attacks are reported daily targeting Microsoft customers, according to The Microsoft Digital Defense Report 2024. 1 While Microsoft secures the underlying cloud infrastructure, the Shared Responsibility Model explicitly mandates that you protect your organization’s data and identities within M365. Relying on native tools alone creates dangerous resilience gaps. These tools lack the immutability, air-gap security, and orchestrated recovery capabilities needed after major incidents—especially those compromising identity, the 'keys to the kingdom'.
For CISOs, an M365 breach, particularly involving Active Directory (AD) or Entra ID, poses significant business risks: operational paralysis, catastrophic data breaches, regulatory penalties, jeopardized cyber insurance coverage, and eroded board confidence. With identity infrastructure and data being frequent targets, a comprehensive resilience strategy is not optional; it’s essential.
