Cybersecurity Best Practices
Practical, expert-written guidance on hardening your environment, strengthening access controls, and preparing for security incidents.
Strong penetration testing results are only meaningful if findings get remediated and the underlying environment is maintained at a high baseline of security hygiene. This section covers the practical measures every organization should have in place — independent of whether you've had a pentest.
Password Security and Access Controls
Weak and reused passwords remain one of the most exploited entry points in network penetration tests. Implementing strong password policies, blacklisting predictable terms in both Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and enforcing multi-factor authentication across all remote access are the highest-ROI security investments most organizations can make.
Microsoft 365 Security
M365 default configurations are not hardened. They prioritize usability. Our M365 security recommendations cover critical settings, policies, and monitoring configurations every M365 organization should review.
Preparing for Security Incidents
Most organizations that suffer a significant breach discover, too late, that they had no documented incident response plan. Preparing before an incident occurs is dramatically more effective than improvising during one.
