According to Morgan Lewis, in 2023, the average cost of a data breach reached $4.45 million. This is 2.25% higher than the statistics in 2022. These numbers are a clear indication of why data security solutions are a must for enterprises. 

Protecting M365 data is crucial because threats like ransomware, data breaches, and insider risks can cause serious problems for companies. First, they damage a company’s reputation, leading customers and partners to lose trust and seek alternatives. This loss of credibility can hinder new business opportunities. 

Second, not following data protection rules can lead to big fines and legal battles, draining a company’s resources. 

Third, these threats disrupt day-to-day operations, causing downtime, decreased productivity, and increased costs associated with recovery efforts.
