Beyond Out-of-the-Box: Safeguarding Microsoft’s Ecosystem
- Microsoft is popularly known for providing Outlook for email, SharePoint for file sharing, Teams for communication, and Microsoft 365 as integrated suite for all productivity tools.
- Microsoft's expansive and interconnected ecosystem, designed for seamless integration across platforms and devices, also creates a significant target for cyber threats.
- Organizations must not be negligent towards Microsoft's default settings and features like default link-sharing in SharePoint or automatic forwarding in Outlook that may inadvertently expose sensitive data outside the organisation.
- Microsoft's open APIs make it easy to integrate with third-party applications; however, each new app linked to the platform increases potential entry points for attackers.
- To lower the risk level for security, it’s important to diversify security tools instead of entirely relying on Microsoft’s native solutions.
- Implementing ‘trip-wires’ in Microsoft environment may involve setting alerts for unusual login locations and unforeseen downloads.
- For safeguarding data within Microsoft ecosystem, organizations might require extra investment such as Azure Active Directory Premium and third-party security solutions.
- The balance of convenience, ease of access and security isn’t easy, but with proactive management and a diversified approach, Microsoft’s powerful ecosystem can remain both productive and secure.
- Neuways provides advanced, customised cyber security for the whole Microsoft environment with added layers of cyber security, proactive monitoring, and tailored configurations.
- Organizations should not leave their data exposed and must secure their Microsoft environment today!
