Microsoft Security’s Post

The scale of password-based attacks is staggering - Microsoft's recent data shows they're blocking 7,000 password attacks every second, with over 99% of identity attacks targeting passwords. That's over 600 million attempts daily! This highlights why we can't rely on passwords alone anymore. Whether you're a large enterprise or a small business, implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) isn't just a nice-to-have - it's essential. Even basic MFA can block 99.9% of these automated attacks. Remember: cybersecurity is a journey, not a destination. Start with the basics - strong passwords + MFA - and build from there. #cybersecurity #passwordsecurity #infosec #mfa

Logins are the new frontier in cybersecurity. As threats evolve, securing the entire attack path—starting with something as fundamental as identity—has never been more important. It’s a reminder that cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. Organizations must go beyond compliance checklists and embrace strategies that address shadow IT, outdated controls, and attack path vulnerabilities.
