Why Your Company Needs More than Office 365 Security  

Most companies take it for granted that their data is going to be secure by default when they roll out Microsoft 365. Far from it, actually.  Office 365 does have built-in security when it comes to spam blocking and basic MFA (multi-factor authentication), but that is not enough security. Without having the right and multi-layered security setup, your business is still at risk of being hit by phishing, credential compromise, ransomware, and other attacks.  As Adam Bowles, ACT360 Director of Web Services, suggests to clients: "Office 365 is a starting point, but not a full security solution. True protection is about layering the appropriate tools, such as endpoint detection, monitoring, […]

They happen because someone clicked on a suspicious link, used a bad password, or got phished. That's why even the most sophisticated security software can't protect your business without a good human firewall. Let's break down how human error is fueling cyber threats — and what Ontario businesses like yours […]
