Attackers don't break into Microsoft 365. They log in and reconfigure it. When tenant configurations drift or get tampered with, recovery can take weeks and missed settings can reopen the door. The Cyber Resilience Framework for Microsoft 365 covers the five pillars, harden, govern, detect, respond, recover, and shows exactly where today's tools leave gaps.

It's often hard to find that experience, and while there are certification courses aplenty, courses in cybersecurity leadership are hard to find. One possible solution is mentoring, but that has its own hurdles.
