Ensure backup reliability by monitoring schedules, integrity, and success rates; test restores regularly; understand RPO/RTO; implement immutable, air-gapped backups; and comply with standards like NIST, HIPAA, CJIS.
Hidden identity and access gaps in Microsoft 365 and Azure raise costly security risks. Implementing robust IAM, least privilege, conditional access, phishing-resistant MFA, and PAM ensures compliance, reduces breaches, and boosts ROI.
