One simple action you can take to prevent 99.9% of email exchange hacks
Businesses are becoming more reliant than ever on technology. The risk of a business incurring a cyber incident is no longer a question of if, but when. One of the best things you can do is to turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) in Office365. This provides an extra barrier and layer of security that makes it incredibly difficult for attackers to get past. MFA can block over 99.9% of account compromise attacks.
Common vulnerabilities
Business email compromise - Where an attacker gains access to a corporate email account, such as through phishing or spoofing, and uses it to exploit the system and steal money. Accounts that are protected with only a password are easy targets.
Password reuse - common passwords and credentials compromised by attackers in public breaches are used against corporate accounts to try and gain access. 73% of passwords are duplicates, so this is a very successful strategy for many attackers.
