Microsoft Customers Face Increased Cybersecurity Threats


Microsoft products are a staple in both corporate and personal environments, making them an attractive target for cybercriminals. However, when more than 600 million cyberattacks daily against Microsoft customers are reported in recent times, these range from phishing campaigns to malware intrusions and brute-force attempts against key facilities such as Microsoft Azure and Office 365. The stakes have never been higher due to increased reliance on digital transformations around Microsoft’s platforms. With that in mind, it’s time for businesses to make sure their defenses are reinforced. 

The Growing Threat Landscape 

Threats have gained incredible momentum due to the increased migration of workloads to the cloud and dependence on Microsoft products as support for communication, collaboration, and data management. The weak security posture faces attacks via exploits, phishing campaigns, and privileged account breaches. With remote and hybrid working increasingly here to stay, companies are expanding exposure even further, with Microsoft 365 accounts being accessed from more vulnerable home networks. 

Why are these attacks happening? 

  • High usage: Microsoft platforms are ubiquitous, making them a large attack surface. 
  • Inadequate security controls: Many organizations fail to implement essential security measures like multi-factor authentication (MFA), leaving gaps for attackers. 
  • Sophisticated attack methods: The introduction of advanced tactics such as credential stuffing and ransomware-as-a-service further compounds these risks.

1. Proactive Threat Detection and Response 

Our SOC-as-a-Service offers 24/7 monitoring of the Microsoft environment for suspicious activities. Using threat intelligence tools, our experts identify incidents that may lead to a data breach before they do any damage, thereby protecting data on Azure, Office 365, and other environments on Microsoft. 

2. Identity and Access Management (IAM) 

IAM, PAM, and IGA are the Identity Shield Solutions that assure Sennovate about access to sensitive data. Our IAM solutions provide secure role-based access controls with easy integration into Microsoft Active Directory to help prevent unauthorized access. 

3. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Zero Trust 

With our default-deny Zero Trust cybersecurity approach, nobody will be trusted. We will support all Microsoft customers in creating robust MFA across all accounts and minimize the risks connected with credential theft and unauthorized access. This is especially crucial for securing accounts within Office 365, Azure Active Directory, and other cloud services. 

4. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) 

Sennovate Sennovate Data Shield secures sensitive data from unauthorized access and sharing that is stored on Microsoft platforms. We monitor and block malicious activities through deep integrations with Microsoft products to prevent a data breach or ransomware infection. 

5. Security Awareness Training 

Many of the attacks start with human mistakes, such as clicking on a phishing link or poor use of passwords. Sennovate offers bespoke security awareness training focused on the most usual vectors of an attack, including Microsoft Office 365 or Azure environments. 

6. Compliance and Risk Management 

Data protection standards will always be at the core in operating business enterprises that work amidst complex regulatory environments. The GRC services offered by Sennovate integrate with Microsoft to make sure a company sustains its compliance with requisite standards while having safe infrastructure against cyber-attacks.
