Cyber Month: Microsoft 365 Security Tune Up

The Rundown

Cybersecurity pros Ryan Smith (RLS Consulting) and Jeff Oden (Ember Trail) teamed up for the third installment of Catalyit's Cybersecurity Awareness Month to expose overlooked Microsoft 365 settings that leave orgs wide open and how to fix them.

The Context

• Many default settings in Microsoft 365 aren’t secure out of the box.
• Smith and Oden demo’d Overe, a tool for auditing and tightening your 365 setup.
• Key advice: enable MFA, restrict app permissions, clean up dormant accounts, and rethink passwords (hint: passphrases > complex strings).
• The session wrapped with a live Q&A and resources for ongoing support.

Why it Matters

Microsoft 365 is a prime target for hackers, and weak default settings make their job easier. This session cuts through the noise with practical, low-lift fixes that can instantly boost your org’s cyber posture. Your IT team should watch this, and then get to work.
