If anyone is well-positioned to flip a switch and solve the email security problem entirely, it would be Microsoft.
In its 2020 State of Security report, it found that 96 percent of respondents used Microsoft 365 for email delivery.
The research found that 25 percent of phishing emails bypassed Microsoft 365 security.
This isn't to say that Microsoft 365 is bad at security.
Phishing campaigns exploiting the confusion around working from home have been rife, and several of them have targeted Microsoft 365 email users.
