AI may make it cheaper to scan thousands of businesses for weak points.

Dutch tax authority has reversed its Microsoft 365 cloud rollout in favour of on-premises and European open-source options.

Two Dell CSM flaws score 10.0 and can let unauthenticated attackers reach storage admin control.

BigBear 2.0 compromised M365 sessions at 258 organisations. One trick: it pushed users away from phishing-resistant FIDO2 towards weaker MFA.

Your fallback sign-in method matters.

Microsoft 365 outages aren't something your IT provider can prevent.

What they can do is help your business prepare, communicate and keep critical work moving.

Backups can restore systems. They can't un-steal data.
