Cybersecurity with Microsoft 365

InLigo security guidelines and Microsoft 365 solutions that help foster your cybersecurity posture. 

There are several improvements that organizations can make to their Microsoft 365 cyber security posture:

  1. Implement multi-factor authentication:
    1. Multi-factor authentication requires users to provide an additional layer of security, such as a one-time code sent to their phone, when logging into their accounts. This helps to prevent unauthorized access to accounts even if a user’s password is compromised.
    2. Enable data loss prevention policies: Data loss prevention policies help to prevent the accidental or intentional sharing of sensitive data. This can be especially important for organizations that handle sensitive or regulated data.
    3. Enable malware protection: Malware protection helps to detect and prevent malware infections, which can lead to data breaches or other security incidents.
    4. Implement strong passwords: Strong passwords are harder to guess or crack, making it more difficult for hackers to gain access to accounts.
    5. Conduct regular security reviews: Regular security reviews can help organizations to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in their systems and applications.
  2. Provide cybersecurity training to employees: Cybersecurity training can help employees to understand the importance of cybersecurity and how to identify and respond to potential threats.

Overall, these improvements can help organizations to enhance their cybersecurity posture and reduce the risk of a security incident.
