Once your permissions are aligned, everything is pretty simple.
In this episode of Practical Protection, we discuss Microsoft’s Secure Future Initiative and what their latest progress report reveals about improving identity protection, reducing privileged access, and accelerating vulnerability response—and what you can take from it to strengthen your own environment.
In this installment of the Graph Activity Log series, we uncover how attackers exploit OAuth app consent to silently access Microsoft 365 data. Using targeted KQL queries and PowerShell automation, this blog shows how to detect, investigate, and respond to these stealthy identity-based threats.
Boasting a 20-fold increase in scalability and a cloud mailbox to hold a channel calendar, Microsoft is giving Teams private channels a significant revamp in an update that will roll out in late September 2025.
