Key takeaway: Enable MFA on EVERY admin account (except break glass). No exceptions. The Ubiquiti breach? One compromised admin = millions lost.
Remember: Don't chase the chipmunk - prevent the breach! #InfoSec #MVPBuzz

Today's webinar on Zero Trust sparked great discussions. If you missed it, don't worry! The session is now available on-demand. For a quick one-minute read, check out this synopsis by David Ramel from RedmondMag.com: lnkd.in/eaBusMBB #ZeroTrust #MVPBuzz #Cybersecurity
94% of orgs had some sort of breach via M365 last year. Most still think "Microsoft backs up my data" (spoiler-they don't).
M365 attacks are up 300%. One org lost $25.6M to a deepfake call.
Quick wins:
✅ Test your backup
✅ Enable admin MFA
✅ Kill legacy auth

The Cyber Arms Race is Here – And AI is Changing Everything
Criminals are using AI to craft more sophisticated attacks than ever before.
I just published a deep dive into how AI-powered security is revolutionizing cyber defense in 2025, and the insights might surprise you: bit.ly/CyberArmsRace
What a blast during my session today! I love talking about reframing cybersecurity through the lens of digital wellness and collective resilience. Nothing better than helping orgs realize that security should enable, rather than prevent, meaningful connections between people and orgs. #CRLVIRTCON

If you allow RDP, VNC, or any other remote access solution from outside your network PLEASE restrict to only specific IPs. Otherwise, just assume you’re under a brute force attack RIGHT NOW. @DaveKawula @SuperCristal1 #mvpbuzz @betsyweber
Don’t want to force users to sign in with an Apple ID on company devices to install company provided apps? You don’t have to, just manage with @MSIntune. Set your iOS app to Device license instead of User License. @DaveKawula @SuperCristal1 @betsyweber #mvpbuzz
Microsoft Endpoint Manager users, if you allow the Apple Business Manager server token to expire, you must create a new one, revoke the old one, and re-assign your apps in the portal. Renew before it expires to avoid the extra work! #MVPBuzz @DaveKawula @SuperCristal1 @betsyweber
