Target-rich environment: Why Microsoft 365 has become the biggest risk
Target-rich environment: Why Microsoft 365 has become the biggest risk
Microsoft 365's dominance and tight integration makes it a massive target in today's cyber landscape. Its tight integration expands the attack surface and amplifies risk. Learn from Acronis TRU why backup blind spots & lateral movement risks demand stronger defenses.

In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts.
The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails.
The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.

It's kinda been raised, but its nuts that (according to Mandiant/M-Trends) in 2025:
- vulnerabilities/exploits are the most frequently observed initial vector;
- the top 4 exploited vulns belong to security vendors.
