Why Your Microsoft 365 Data Is Not as Safe as You Think

Your organization moved to Microsoft 365 and everything got better. Email is reliable. Collaboration is seamless. Files live in the cloud where they are accessible from anywhere. The days of managing an on-premises Exchange server and worrying about tape backups are over. Microsoft handles it now.

Ask a room full of executives what cybersecurity is, and most will describe it in technical terms. Firewalls. Antivirus. Encryption. Patching.

Everyone has pointed somewhere, and nobody has taken ownership.

Your Backup Is Not a Recovery Plan And the Difference Could Cost You Everything
