But did you know that if you use Microsoft 365 applications, you should enhance the protection of your data? Find out why Acronis Backup is the ideal solution to keep your Microsoft 365 platform information secure.
With over 130 million active monthly users globally, Microsoft 365 is the cloud productivity solution of choice for many organizations. In a hybrid and remote work context, employees access applications and files like Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Office 365 daily in a decentralized manner.
Microsoft 365 is indeed a highly reliable and robust tool for sharing and accessing information, offering numerous advantages to its users. However, what many do not know is that the service does not focus on creating backups and security copies. Thus, using Microsoft 365 does not protect your business against data loss scenarios, and you may even lose access to Outlook due to security breaches or ransomware attacks.
These are the two main types of vulnerabilities you should consider if you use Microsoft 365:
- Internal Vulnerabilities – accidental file deletion and employee errors or unauthorized access by third parties;
- External Vulnerabilities – ransomware and malware attacks, viruses, unauthorized applications, and other types of threats.
In summary, the focus of Microsoft 365 is to provide constant access to business information, keeping its own infrastructures and applications protected; however, when it comes to user data, users themselves must invest in cybersecurity and data backup tools.
