Most Microsoft 365 Users Hit With Email Data Breaches, Study Claims

A staggering 85% of organizations using Microsoft 365 have suffered an email data breach compared to 74% of firms overall, according to Microsoft 365’s Security Blindspot, a study released Tuesday by Egress. 

In addition, 67% of those Microsoft users saw an increase in data leaks over the last 12 months, versus 32% of non-Microsoft users. 

The reason for these disparities is that Microsoft 365’s safeguards are not sufficient to dynamically mitigate incidents, the study alleges.
