Cybercriminals are on a never-ending hunt for data anything they can steal and sell, exploit or hold for ransom. And your business is never too small to be cyberattacked. In fact, two-thirds of companies with fewer than 1,000 employees have been targeted, and 58% have been breached. And of companies hit with a ransomware attack, 73% have paid a ransom.
To help businesses modernize their security operations and protect their data, Microsoft 365 provides several key services. When building your cloud security strategy, be sure to start with these foundational essentials:
1. Identity and access management with Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)
Identity and access management is the start to any security strategy, as it defines who should have access to your data, what data they can access, and what applications they can access. Azure AD provides your identity foundation with features to help simplify identity and access management and improve user experience through single-sign-on capabilities.
Azure AD has a 123% ROI, with payback in 6 months
