Cyber Alert!
Over the past two weeks, we have seen a noticeable increase in targeted phishing attacks aimed at individuals, with the potential to lead to invoice fraud and other cybercrime. This increase is being influenced by current geopolitical tensions, along with the growing use of AI by threat actors. As these tactics continue to evolve, a multi faceted approach to security awareness remains important.
Geo-Blocking & Access Control
Most cyber attacks originate from overseas, so restricting Microsoft 365 logins to Australia can significantly reduce risk (with exceptions for approved travel). Disabling web-based access and enforcing location-based policies adds another strong security layer. While some features may require licensing upgrades, those upgrades also unlock valuable productivity and security benefits.
Advanced Email Filtering
Microsoft’s basic email filtering alone is no longer enough to stop modern phishing, impersonation, and malware threats. Advanced email security adds critical layers of protection to keep dangerous emails out of user inboxes.
