Dear Mrs. and Mr. #CxO,

Usually I organize tailor made approaches for implementing a #ModernWorkCulture in #enterprise companies. This entails a #ProgrammaticApproach which centers around inspiring end users to implement #technology to exceed their current #BusinessImpact.

Today is a different day!

Companies are being held to #malware attacks, #phishing attacks or theft of #IntellectualProperty, which could have been easily avoided.

#Security is a fundamental part of the system on which you build your #ModernWork #culture. This Modern Work culture is the pinnacle of the strategy, but it needs a solid bedrock.

The lack of basic security hygiene in any given ecosystem continues to enable cybercriminals to use well-known vulnerabilities…

Creating a #ZeroTrustSecurityModel is your #DigitalBedrock. This may take some time to implement but there are basic and simple methods, which you can implement today, such as #MultiFactorAuthentication (MFA) or Microsoft Defender for Office 365 (aka Office 365 Advance Threat Protection). If your company hasn’t activated MFA yet, I implore you to plan this as soon as possible and make a road map for your #ZeroTrustSecurityModel.

In my humble opinion, not activating MFA, borders on #GrossNegligence in today’s environment.

Need more information? Read the Sept. 2020 Microsoft Digital Defense Report. Summary / Full Report

Please contact your Microsoft Account Manager to work on your Zero Trust Security Model.

I’d love to hear from you! Thumbs up if your company has already implemented MFA/Zero Trust Security Model, and if not please leave a comment below what the blocker is. I look forward to understanding what they are!

John Jahns – Microsoft Customer Success Manager for Modern Work
