Microsoft Security Risks. Considerations for organizations evaluating Microsoft Security
Microsoft Corporation is one of the world’s leading software vendors, and its products are used by millions of users, including for corporate purposes. Microsoft pioneered the creation of an enterprise operating system with the release of Microsoft Windows. For four decades, it has created business software products covering email, productivity, CRM, and databases. To ensure cyber protection for its customers, the corporation offers free Microsoft Securityprotection included in the Microsoft E5 license.
But is Microsoft Security really free?
In today’s macro environment, saving money and increasing efficiency is high on every organization’s agenda. Microsoft’s E5 license for email, communications, productivity, and now security, promotes an all-in-one offering. While the idea of an all-in-one solution and “free antivirus” initially seems like a cost-effective proposition, it’s important to evaluate the cost and understand how much more it actually costs to protect with Microsoft before, during, and after deployment.
Microsoft licensing is surprisingly complex and can be confusing for both technical and business decision makers. Microsoft’s protection involves the use of different products and agents, and is managed from multiple consoles, which requires more human resources. It also fails to quantify the incremental cost of the risk of breaches.
