What happened
Microsoft has announced a plan to make company servers that run in-house safer, starting with Exchange, SharePoint and Skype for Business. The plan focuses on applying fixes faster, using safer default settings and blocking attacks while a permanent fix is prepared. Microsoft also encourages organisations to move suitable servers to its cloud service.

What to do
- Check whether Exchange Server, SharePoint Server and Skype for Business Server are running the current security update and apply it promptly.
- Use Tenant Configuration Management to find permissions that are broader than intended in supported server environments.
- Assess which on-premises workloads could move to Microsoft 365 and which must stay on-premises and need hardening.
