The modern workplace has expanded beyond email. Today, people work across a variety of collaboration tools, like Microsoft Teams, Slack, social media platforms and file-sharing services. Not surprisingly, cybercriminals are developing new tactics to exploit these digital channels.
The nature of cyber risk has changed. Cybercriminals don’t just target systems—they target people. As users move fluidly between email, collaboration tools and cloud applications, the old security model—one built around static perimeters and one-size-fits-all controls—can no longer keep up.
Every organisation faces insider risks, but not all insider risks become threats. Employees can be careless in mishandling data or inadvertently exposing sensitive information.
Phishing, malware, ransomware, business email compromise (BEC) and social engineering are all still popular ways for cybercriminals to target people. But today’s cybercriminals no longer limit their attacks to inboxes.
Attacks that target Microsoft are rising. To quickly plug the holes in their Microsoft 365 email security, many businesses are turning to API-based email security tools. Unfortunately, these tools often aren’t up to the challenge.
Microsoft has a host of native email security capabilities, but they’re simply no match for today’s rapidly evolving cyber threats. To protect your Microsoft 365 infrastructure, you need to augment its basic email security.
Data breaches are at an all-time high. Typically, security teams focus on stopping the technological vulnerabilities, like misconfigurations and malware, that lead to data breaches. But a significant percentage is caused by people.
Any effective insider threat management (ITM) program needs processes, procedures and guidelines for handling data.

By 2027, cybercrime is expected to cost the world a staggering $23.8 trillion per year. With so much money to be made, it’s no surprise that the creativity behind today’s cyberattacks is seemingly endless.
