In this episode, we welcome security expert Gil Blumberg to the show! Gil has been working in various roles in security for several years now and has some highly useful insights into the world of cybersecurity and M365!

We discuss the findings of our survey on email security in which we polled a large cross-section of the IT community with questions about M365 security. Email continues to be the primary method of communication for business today, and with that in mind, it’s no wonder that threat actors continue to use email to make inroads into target organizations. With this survey, we wanted to find out what types of attacks respondents are seeing, what common vectors they’re running into, as well as the impact of these attacks.

Some of the findings have huge implications for the M365 security landscape. For example, did you know that there are some organizations not leveraging features like MFA and Exchange Online Protection? We were shocked as well!
