99.9% of hacked accounts do not have MFA enabled (Multi-Factor Authentication).
Securing your business data is critical and thieves are becoming more persistent and cleverer. Microsoft 365 accounts are a major target of hackers, and most attacks can be easily prevented using MFA.

What is MFA?
Multi-factor authentication is an extra layer to verify accounts at login. Integration with MFA is through Authentication apps, SMS or Email. It is an extra layer of protection on top of your username and password that exponentially increases the security of your accounts.

What Clear IT Solutions can do for you?
Clear IT Solutions can help you to enable MFA on your accounts. Microsoft 365 accounts can have organization-wide MFA setup quickly. Our friendly and supportive technical team can help you navigate the use of MFA easily.

Contact Clear IT Solutions today to get your business data better protected through MFA or many other security improvements. You can message us on FB, call us on 07 5515 7000 or email us at [email protected]

Everyone deserves to feel safe online. Securing your personal data and devices is more challenging than ever. Increasing malicious threats, more time online, and many connected personal devices can leave us feeling vulnerable. It’s time for online security that provides simplified and secure protection to meet you where you are.

For this reason, we are excited to announce the general availability of Microsoft Defender for individuals—a new security app designed to keep individuals and families safer online. Available for Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers starting today, Microsoft Defender helps simplify your online security through one, unified view into your family’s protections, across your personal phones and computers.

Now is a great time to start if you’re not yet a Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscriber. In addition to Microsoft Defender, both subscriptions include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook with premium features and offline access. With Microsoft 365 Family, each person gets their own 1 TB OneDrive of cloud storage, advanced security features, and access to premium safety features in the Microsoft Family Safety mobile app and more.

Microsoft has announced that To Do integration is now rolling out to the Current Channel version 2207 of Outlook. This allows users to make full use of Microsoft To Do right within Outlook for Windows.

One of the key features highlighted by Microsoft is the integration of flagged emails, which automatically generates a Flagged email list within To Do, and the email can be opened directly from the task to keep the items linked together.

If this isn't automatically visible, it can be enabled through 𝐓𝐨 𝐃𝐨 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 > 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐬 > 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐞.

Users with an eligible Microsoft 365 subscription who have a license for the Microsoft To Do app will be able to access it directly from the vertical menu bar along the left of the folder pane alongside the email and calendar icons.

How good are you at spotting scams and avoiding hackers? They are getting good at what they do. This is a new email just out today affecting many of our clients. Just note that Microsoft never contacts you about updating your passwords. Treat all similar contacts with suspicion and make sure you enable Multi Factor Authentication on each possible account you manage.

This is best practice.
