🪪 The book does a fantastic job of ‘setting the stage’ of security. It covers all the basics of security from types of attack vectors to Zero Trust (no, Zero Trust is not a product). There were a few principles in the book that I believe in strongly as it pertains to security. First, “the human element remains a most crucial weakness”. Attackers continue to focus on how they can entice people to help them compromise systems whether it be email, their credentials, or systems. I was glad to see the book focus on the ‘pareto principle’ where 80% of the effects stem from just 20% of the causes. While the technologies change, it really all boils down to the basics!⚠️One of my favorite chapters in the book reviewed how Defender for Office 365 could have averted famous attacks. It’s really interesting to read how attacks occurred, like the attack on the DNC in 2016, and how products when properly deployed could have blocked or minimized the attack.While not necessarily a Defender for Office 365 capability, the book delved into Copilot for Security. What is included in Defender for Office 365 is AIR or automated incident response and how solutions can be automated to stop attacks.The book did a fantastic job in reiterating the value of executive involvement and how to show the return on investment, or ROI, of your investment in security tools like Defender.Of course, the book delved into configuration and implementation best practices for which I will continue to keep the book close by for reference.
