Microsoft 365 Data Protection – It’s Not Just Backup

Microsoft 365 customers are operationally and contractually responsible for the protection of their data. In practice, the term has only been applied to backup and recovery, but customers are also responsible for the security and administration of their tenant and the actions of their users, which is clearly stated in the Microsoft 365 SLA:

“Microsoft is not responsible for data loss…that result from your unauthorized action or lack of action when required, or from your employees, agents, contractors, or vendors, or anyone gaining access to our network using your passwords or equipment, or otherwise resulting from your failure to follow appropriate security practices.”

The state-of-the-art security infrastructure and processes protecting Microsoft 365 data centers make them virtually impossible to breach directly but architectural and functional aspects of Microsoft 365 make your tenant vulnerable to compromise and data loss through human mistakes, programmatic errors, malicious insider activity and phishing, malware, and ransomware attacks.

Listen to 14-time Microsoft Office Apps and Services MVP Matthew McDermott and Spanning Director of Product Marketing Dave Wallen as they discuss these issues and provide you with a set of actions you can take today to improve the security of your tenant and better protect your Microsoft 365 data.
