Microsoft 365 services are productive and reliable, but data loss can occur for various reasons. For example, a user may accidentally delete data or a ransomware infection may spread from local computers whose folders are synchronized with the cloud storage. Thus, Microsoft 365 backup is important for data protection and business continuity. With backups, you can recover the needed data and ensure uninterrupted workflows.

The AI SOC has arrived. According to the 2026 AI SOC Leadership Report, 94% of organizations are using AI in the SOC in some capacity. The question in 2026 is no longer whether to adopt AI-driven SOC automation, but rather how to do so. Is the architecture behind that adoption actually working?

Consider this: Your employees log in through Azure AD. Your contractors use Google. Your vendors authenticate via Okta. Your JSM customers are on AWS Cognito. Four identity systems. One Atlassian instance. And natively, only one identity provider is allowed. That is not a configuration oversight, it is a hard limit built into Atlassian Cloud.

No matter the country, industry, or company size, IT and cybersecurity teams report a heavy regulatory load and worry about staying aligned with requirements Organizations today operate under a substantial number of IT and cybersecurity compliance obligations.

Hoppscotch is an open-source API development ecosystem, similar to Postman, with over 100,000 monthly users. Two weeks ago, we set up a self-hosted instance and ran our AI pentest agents against it. They found two high-severity vulnerabilities and one medium-severity vulnerability, all present in versions up to and including 2026.2.1, and all patched in 2026.3.0: All three were responsibly disclosed and have been resolved. Note: We accidentally grouped the XSS and an Access Control issue into one report.

For organisations working towards SOC 2, penetration testing is often one of the more visible and scrutinised components of the audit process. While SOC 2 is not prescriptive in how controls must be implemented, it does require clear evidence that risks are identified, assessed, and addressed through effective security practices. SOC 2 penetration testing plays a key role in demonstrating this.

Most cloud services today are available to customers based on what is known as the “shared responsibility model”. This applies to Microsoft 365 services and apps. Although Microsoft 365 data is stored in the cloud, this user data should be backed up by the customers. This blog post explains why you should back up Microsoft 365 data, backup features, challenges, and how to back up Microsoft 365 effectively.
