Heads up, Microsoft Office 365 users: It's time to take some important steps in securing your account.
The US Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has released some recommendations to help secure the online productivity service.
While the abrupt shift to work-from-home may necessitate rapid deployment of cloud collaboration services, such as O365, hasty deployment can lead to oversights in security configurations and undermine a sound O365-specific security strategy.
These recommendations provided by Microsoft Secure Score do NOT encompass all possible security configurations, but organizations should still consider using Microsoft Secure Score because O365 service offerings frequently change.
Microsoft has a security defaults feature for Azure AD that provide a basic level of security out of the box.
