Microsoft is currently a prime target for cybercriminals. With over a million companies using Microsoft Office 365, holding a 46% market share in the office suite domain, and being utilized by over 350 million individuals, it's evident that M365 are enticing prey for data-hungry hackers.

 

This poses a significant risk for businesses, especially those lacking the necessary resources to invest in cybersecurity teams or software. Consequently, email remains the primary attack vector against Microsoft Office 365, thereby amplifying the risk for users.

 

 

 

False Positives Risk

Microsoft 365's anti-spam occasionally misidentifies legitimate emails as spam, leading to potential loss of crucial communications.

False Negatives Risk

Conversely, it may also let spam or phishing emails slip through, exposing the organization to potential threats.

Limited Protection Against Advanced Threats

While providing basic protection, the native anti-spam may be less effective in detecting advanced threats such as spear-phishing attacks, sophisticated malware, or targeted assaults.

Restricted Customization

It's difficult for Administrators have limited options to customize anti-spam rules and security policies, making it challenging to implement company-specific security measures.

Increased Risk of Phishing Attacks

Phishing attacks, particularly "internal phishing" or "whaling," can circumvent native anti-spam using sophisticated social engineering tactics.

Compliance Limitations

Organizations subject to strict compliance regulations may require more advanced features to archive and manage emails in line with legal requirements (FISA, Patriot Act, Cloud Act).

Microsoft is frequently targeted by cyberattacks, but defenses like Exchange Online Protection (EOP) have become outdated, and Windows Defender alone isn't sufficient to combat them.
