If your shop is powered by Redmond, you should find time to read the CISA paper referenced in this article. Quite concerning. See link in the comments section. Light readers and Executives should read pages 6-7 & Appendix B (pg. 31). That should, to some extent, tell you why you should be worried. The “security costs” aspect of the following section of the article brings back some memories: “Important businesses large and small have made the bet to become Microsoft shops, adding to supply chain risks while large parts of the anti-malware world are dependent on Defender detections and discoveries from the company’s (very strong!) threat intelligence research teams. For those deeply entrenched in Microsoft’s world, security costs can add up significantly, especially for granular logging to help with security incident detection, investigation, and response.”

Did you know? When designing a secure workload, applying security design principles is crucial to building a resilient system. Microsoft recommends using a Zero Trust approach, which emphasizes the principles of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA triad). By implementing strong access controls, regularly updating your security posture, and creating a comprehensive incident response plan, you can significantly reduce the risk of breaches and operational disruptions. Always assume a breach and continuously improve your security measures to stay ahead of evolving threats.
