Microsoft 365 Attack Simulation

Cyber-attacks are a serious threat to UK businesses. According to the UK Government, 39% of UK companies have experienced some kind of cyber-attack within the last 12 months and nine out of ten of these attacks were caused by human error. These errors include clicking on malicious links, entering credentials into fake websites, or falling for phishing scams. Cyber-criminals use various methods and channels, such as email, SMS, phone calls, etc., to trick your employees into compromising their security. To prevent and respond to these attacks, employees need to be provided training on how to identify and avoid potential risks as well as provide simulated attacks to ensure users are applying the training. Microsoft 365 offers a comprehensive solution for cyber-security education and simulation. Microsoft’s cyber-security solution provides users with information on the most common and dangerous types of cyber-attacks, such as phishing, ransomware, malware, etc., and global training on how to deal with them and what actions to perform should an attack be successful. It also allows administrators to send simulated malicious emails to users and monitor their reactions. Based on the results, users can be assigned global or targeted training to improve their skills and awareness.
