52% of cyberattacks

52% of cyberattacks with a known motivation in 2025 were driven by ransomware or extortion – the single largest category, per Microsoft's own Digital Defense Report.

And Microsoft 365 doesn't get a pass. One compromised sign-in reaches Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams at once, because they all sit behind the same identity.

✔️ How ransomware actually moves through an M365 tenant
✔️ Where Microsoft's native recovery (version history, Recycle Bin, Files Restore) falls short – starting with the fact that it doesn’t cover Exchange at all
✔️ The containment steps to run in the first hour of an attack
✔️ Why independent, immutable backup is the one thing an attacker with admin access can't touch
