Microsoft has been pushing browser-based Microsoft 365 cloud for all office functions. However, their desktop office applications are just as popular as ever – especially Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Which is great news for cyber criminals as the end user workstation is a prime target for attack and often an overlooked link in any cyber security strategy.
In our experience, security is often something that is begrudged as taking time and budget from development and customer experience. And if you believe your security comes from your cloud platform, I recommend that you read the ‘shared responsibility’ model that all the cloud providers use to limit their liability from security exposure.
