The "tyranny of the default" refers to a phenomenon where people tend to stick with preselected or default options rather than actively choosing alternatives. Unfortunately, this phenomenon also occurs in Microsoft 365 and results in weak security posture. Continuous evaluation of you Microsoft 365 security posture is critical to staying ahead of evolving cyber threats. As attackers constantly develop new tactics, techniques, and vulnerabilities, a static security strategy quickly becomes obsolete. In this session I'll provide some guidance on how to evaluate your tenant security posture, build a secure baseline configuration and continuous evaluate your Microsoft 365 security posture.
