A quarter of IT professionals either don’t know or don’t think Microsoft 365 data can be impacted by a ransomware attack, research from Hornetsecurity has claimed.
In addition, 40% of IT professionals that use Microsoft 365 in their organization admitted they do not have a recovery plan in case their Microsoft 365 data is compromised by a ransomware attack.
Though many of the less advanced ransomware variants can only encrypt targets such as Windows file libraries, many variants can encrypt data that is stored inside SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) applications like Microsoft 365.
