Microsoft 365 (M365) offers many security tools and features that help protect user data. Since the implementation of <\/span>Law 25 in Quebec on the protection of personal information of users<\/span><\/a>, the question of data management is more than ever crucial for the compliance of your company.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>

Through this article, we will see how M365 can help you strengthen your security posture for effective data management. To do this, we list the various M365 tools that will allow you to strengthen the security of your users’ personal information.<\/span><\/h4>

Multi-factor <\/span>authentication<\/span> is<\/span> a <\/span>security<\/span> technique <\/span>that<\/span> requires<\/span> more <\/span>than<\/span> one <\/span>element<\/span> to <\/span>verify<\/span> user <\/span>identity<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

How M365 uses <\/span>it<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h4>

M365 offers this feature to help protect user accounts from cybercriminals by making access more complex.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

When you sign in to your M365 account, you are prompted for your username and password. However, to complete the connection, you must also provide a second verification item, such as a code sent by SMS or a notification sent to your phone.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

By requiring more than one element to verify user identity, multi-factor authentication makes it harder for cybercriminals to gain access to your accounts, as they need to have not just your username and password , but also one of the other verification elements. This can help protect your M365 accounts from account takeover attacks and other cyber threats. (<\/span>Microsoft, 2022<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>
