Most Microsoft 365 account breaches do not start with “advanced hacking”.

They start with one exposed password.

If your business uses Microsoft 365, make sure multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled for every account — especially admin users, email accounts, and anyone with access to files, invoices, or client information.

MFA adds one extra step at login, but it can stop a stolen password from turning into a full business-wide issue.

Small setting. Big difference.

Need help reviewing your Microsoft 365 security setup?

SkyComm can help.

🚨 Still running Windows Server 2016?
Microsoft support is ending soon — meaning no more security updates or protection.

For many Perth businesses and medical clinics, this could impact:
✔️ Security
✔️ Backups
✔️ Remote access
✔️ Medical & business software compatibility

Now’s the time to plan ahead and avoid last-minute downtime.

If your clinic uses Genie, this is worth checking before your next upgrade.

The latest Genie installer warning now makes it explicit:

• Windows clients must be on Windows 11 (64-bit) or later
• Mac clients must be on macOS Sonoma 14.8.4 or later

That means this is not just a server upgrade issue.

If Genie gets upgraded before all workstations are checked, some PCs or Macs may stop connecting properly or may not run Genie correctly at all.

In a medical practice, that can create problems very quickly at reception, in admin, and across the whole day.

We put together a short guide on what clinics should check before upgrading, based on the actual warning shown during the Genie update:

If you're not sure whether your clinic is ready, we can assess it before the upgrade happens.

🔐 Does your medical practice use Microsoft 365?

Most Perth clinics do — but many are running it without basic security turned on.

No MFA. No email filtering. No audit logging. That's an open door for phishing attacks and data breaches.

We put together a practical guide covering the security settings every medical practice should have configured in M365 — from multi-factor authentication to email protection and compliance.

It's written for practice managers, not IT engineers.

📋 Have you heard of the Essential Eight?

It's the Australian Government's cybersecurity framework — and it's increasingly relevant for medical practices, especially with RACGP accreditation tightening up.

We wrote a plain-English guide breaking down what each of the 8 controls actually means for a GP clinic:

✅ Application patching
✅ Restricting macros
✅ Multi-factor authentication
✅ Daily backups..and 4 more that matter for patient data protection.

If you're a practice manager wondering where to start with cybersecurity — this is it.
