sanches.romero Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Hi everyone! I am very concerned about the threat of ransomware. Now, most of our team is working remotely, using a lot of M365 services. Is it protected enough, or are the in-built protection features useless?

rico.tiko Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Now Defender is pretty good. From what I've heard, it has improved a lot lately. But we are still using additional ransomware protection software. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Official Moderator Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 @sanches.romero, Microsoft 365 offers several preventive measures to protect your environment: Defender for Office 365 (previously Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection) is one of the main anti-malware solutions. Defender monitors your environment for potential risks and any suspicious activity. It helps prevent most of the malware by recognizing and blocking the threats. Anti-phishing protection is included in Defender for Office 365. As phishing emails are one of the most common ways to get infected with malware, this feature can really make the difference. You can define the anti-phishing policies in the Office 365 Security & Compliance Center and activate the anti-phishing protection feature. You can find a visual guide on how to set the requested policies in this blog post https://www.nakivo.com/blog/how-to-protect-microsoft-office-365-data-against-ransomware/ There are several preventive measures offered by Microsoft and third-party anti-ransomware solutions. However, please remember that the only way to protect your data is a reliable backup and recovery solution. It will restore your critical information when all the preventive measures fail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanches.romero Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 Thank you all! We are already using NAKIVO for backup, but I will also set up the anti-fishing policies just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
