Lessons from Microsoft's Breaches
Significant cybersecurity incidents in 2024, particularly involving Microsoft, emphasize the dangers of partially completed security projects. The Cyber Safety Review Board's report revealed that many vulnerabilities were known to Microsoft but were never fully resolved, ultimately allowing hackers to exploit these weaknesses. This underlines the critical lesson that attackers will take advantage of any gaps, regardless of how close a company is to completion on a security project. Therefore, companies must ensure that they fully address vulnerabilities rather than leaving them as ongoing concerns to mitigate serious breaches.
