Data security is critical. It’s probably one of your company’s top priorities, and for a good reason. Data breaches cost you valuable time and money.
Billions of compromised records are exposed annually, and it’s your job to secure your systems against malicious actors and cyber threats.
According to IBM, the global average cost of a data breach is roughly $3.86 million. If you’re an enterprise-level company, that’s a pretty hefty drop in the bucket. If you’re a smaller business, that kind of data breach could ruin you.
Fortunately, companies that utilize some of the most popular and effective business management platforms—like Microsoft 365—have professional cybersecurity solution options.
What is Microsoft 365 Cloud Security?
Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) is Microsoft’s monthly subscription service that allows users to purchase, download, and manage popular Microsoft applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more within the 365 suite. It also offers cloud-based software-as-a-service products like Skype for Business, Exchange Server, SharePoint, and others. Since many of Microsoft 365’s elements are cloud-based, cloud security is a big concern for companies adopting the service.
Cloud security is simply the process of protecting your cloud-based data and applications from outside threats and breaches. While some specialized programs and applications can improve your cloud security, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.
Some companies opt to manage their own data security, while others choose to trust third-party products and services. Professional Microsoft 365 partners like 360 Visibility are well-versed in what it takes to protect your data.
