Avoiding Microsoft 365 Security Issues: Top 5 Configuration Mistakes (Webinar Replay)

Microsoft 365 is the backbone of collaboration and productivity for countless organizations—but it’s also a prime target for attackers. Why? Because misconfigurations are more common (and more dangerous) than you think.

In this practical, fast-paced session, we break down the most frequent Microsoft 365 security missteps, how they happen, and what you can do to fix them—before they’re exploited. Our experts cover:

  • The most overlooked misconfigurations in OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams
  • Why MFA isn’t enough—and how legacy settings can leave you exposed
  • How default settings in Entra, Exchange Online Protection, and calendars can be risky
  • The hidden dangers of BYOD and unsecured mobile access
  • Why conditional access is critical—and often missing
  • Why a vulnerability management program (and Windows 11 migration) matters more than ever
  • Plus, we’ll share real-world best practices to prevent misconfiguration
