Microsoft stresses the importance of educating staff and visitors alike on the threats they could face and how to identify them. A core element of this is ensuring that everyone is familiar with common phishing techniques, which can be the start of a major cybersecurity breach.

Furthermore, as more teams and organizations rely on cloud-based solutions for their operations, it is vital that they ensure their service providers adhere to the highest cybersecurity standards. This includes making sure data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, and that systems are regularly updated to guard against known vulnerabilities.
