We understand your dedication\u2014and the goal of bringing smiles to customers\u2019 faces\u2014because we\u2019re dedicated to the same goal. We also understand how hard it is today to navigate an ever evolving landscape and we want to make cybersecurity simple and accessible so it isn\u2019t weighing on your mind, and you can focus on growing and innovating in your business.<\/p>\n<p>Small businesses like yours rely on technology to streamline operations, respond to customer needs, and communicate with employees. You\u2019re being asked to do more with less, and unfortunately, attackers often have the advantage; they need to find only one exploitable weakness.<sup>1 <\/sup><\/p>\n<p>While the growing threat of cybercrime can seem bleak, we are committed to taking it on and constantly innovating to deliver security solutions that protect small and medium-sized businesses from cyberattacks. I\u2019m excited to share some of the features we\u2019ve introduced to tighten your security and ease your mind.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, we introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/business\/endpoint-security\/microsoft-defender-business\">Microsoft Defender for Business<\/a>, aimed at safeguarding endpoints for businesses with up to 300 employees. To further extend our security capabilities, we announced Defender for Business in Microsoft 365 Business Premium, providing comprehensive productivity and security solutions on a single platform. In November 2022, we launched server security features built into Defender for Business, with enhanced protection for both Windows Server and Linux servers through the Microsoft Defender for Business server add-on.<sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n<h2>The continued evolution of Defender for Business<\/h2>\n<p>But we\u2019re not stopping there. In fact, we\u2019ve made major strides in simplifying our comprehensive security approach with Defender for Business with the following updates:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Simplified insights<\/strong> with improved security summaries to help you better understand how secure you are across identity, devices, information, and apps. The report shows threats prevented by Defender for Business, current status from <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/microsoft-365\/security\/defender\/microsoft-secure-score?view=o365-worldwide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Secure Score<\/a>, and recommendations, all designed to help you increase security in key areas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Protect mobile devices<\/strong> without the need for device management or add-ons by using new capabilities built into a single integrated Defender for Business experience. The standalone device security solution now includes a preview release of mobile threat defense that provides iOS and Android devices with OS-level threat and vulnerability management, web protection, and app security to help you and your employees stay secure on the go.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We also recognize that managed service providers (MSPs) play a crucial role in securing small businesses at scale, as they provide the expertise and resources needed to protect against an ever-evolving threat landscape.<\/p>\n<p>To support their efforts, we\u2019re excited to announce that MSPs enrolled in the Cloud Solution Provider program can now manage multi-customer device exposure more effectively within Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. Partners can use the exposure score to discover which customers\u2019 devices are most at risk because of vulnerabilities to active threats. It helps them to reduce customer exposure by providing patch recommendations for at-risk devices to make them current with the latest updates. They can also proactively improve customers\u2019 device security in Defender for Business and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/microsoft-365\/business\/microsoft-365-business-premium\">Microsoft 365 Business Premium<\/a> tenants.<\/p>\n<h2>Security for mobile devices at your fingertips<\/h2>\n<p>Mobile devices have become an essential part of small business strategy, increasing communication and collaboration, enhancing responsiveness, reducing operational costs, and making it much easier to work productively from anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>However, this increased reliance on mobile devices has made small businesses vulnerable to cyberattacks, with their attack surfaces expanding in ways they may not realize. About 45 percent of small and medium-sized businesses said they had suffered a compromise involving a mobile device in the previous 12 months. Businesses with a global presence were even more susceptible, with 61 percent compromised.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"255\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-2.png\" alt=\"Percentage chart showing 98 percent of cyberattacks are prevented by basic security hygiene and 50 percent of small businesses use personal devices to access work data.\" class=\"wp-image-126537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-2.png 780w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-2-300x98.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-2-768x251.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\"><\/figure>\n<p>Many small businesses may not have the budget or experience to deploy device management technologies, even though it is the best way to secure mobile devices. Basic security typically protects against 98 percent of attacks but mobile device hygiene becomes a problem when the latest updates are not applied soon after release.<sup>4<\/sup> It is increasingly urgent to adopt minimum standards to counter the rising level of threats in the digital ecosystem. This is especially true since 50 percent of small and medium-sized businesses say they let employees use unmanaged personal mobile devices to access work data.<sup>5<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Defender for Business now simplifies security for mobile devices, protecting small businesses from threats such as malware and ransomware on iOS and Android\u2014without the need for device management. This new Defender for Business capability, called Mobile Threat Defense, is now in public preview.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile Threat Defense provides three key features that offer you peace of mind when managing mobile device security: operating system (OS) level threat and vulnerability management, web protection, and app security.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Threat and vulnerability management<\/strong> can track mobile OS vulnerabilities to help IT professionals make sure devices are patched with the latest updates and help prevent active threats in the wild.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Web protection<\/strong> helps protect against phishing attacks and blocks unsafe websites that come through email, text messages, or apps.<\/li>\n<li><strong>App security<\/strong> will alert when it detects a malicious app on the device that could steal data or disrupt the device.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Microsoft 365 Business Premium has included security for mobile devices since its launch as it uses Microsoft Intune for device management and security for iOS and Android devices.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"164\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-1-1024x164.jpg\" alt=\"NIST cybersecurity framework, including identifying threats and vulnerabilities, protecting attack surfaces, endpoint detection and response, and recovery and remediation.\" class=\"wp-image-126809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-1-1024x164.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-1-300x48.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-1-768x123.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-1-1420x229.jpg 1420w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture1-1.jpg 1432w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/figure>\n<p>Defender for Business spans the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework of identifying, protecting, detecting and responding, and recovering.<sup>6<\/sup> By adding device security to our standalone Defender for Business solution today, we deliver comprehensive device security for Windows, macOS, and now iOS and Android devices. This goes far beyond the capabilities of traditional antivirus solutions, which typically only protect a fraction of your business.<\/p>\n<h2>Simplified insights demonstrate the value of cybersecurity<\/h2>\n<p>Cyberthreats are not slowing down. That\u2019s why it\u2019s more important than ever for you to continue investing in cybersecurity and protect against the financial, operational, or reputational damage that can result from an attack. However, it can be difficult to understand the status of your business security.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re excited to bring new security summaries to Defender for Business, giving you insights into your security investments through Microsoft Secure Score. This summary enables you to make informed decisions about how to improve security in your environment and continuously improve your security status. By leveraging these report insights, small businesses can showcase the status of security, close gaps, and instill confidence in stakeholders.<\/p>\n<h2>See how Microsoft Defender for Business can help your business<\/h2>\n<p>Let us ease your worries about securing your business.
