Is your M365 security missing the shot?

For many organizations, Microsoft 365 sits at the core of daily operations. The platform has proven its value and creates a sense of stability and safety. Sometimes that confidence is justified. Sometimes it is not. Cybersecurity has far more in common with golf and physics than most people expect. It starts with correct initial configuration, but the outcome is shaped by how the environment keeps moving and changing afterward.

Once a project is completed, nothing stands still. Settings that once made sense slowly drift out of balance. Just like in golf, one good swing is not enough. Without continuous practice and upkeep, the ball keeps drifting further off course until it suddenly ends up in the water. All the while, everyone assumes things are still fine.

So ask yourself:

  • Who keeps track of whether users still have the right access privileges?
  • How do you check that temporary accounts are removed from your environment on time?
  • Who knows why that one old tool connection is still active?
  • How do you stay up to date with new Microsoft 365 updates and features?

In short, who is looking at your environment after day 365?

Security rarely fails because of one major mistake. Problems usually emerge from small deviations that stay in place and never get corrected, often because no one realizes they are even there in the first place.

The typical reaction is to add more tools. Yet when the foundation is off, the environment never truly gets back on track and continues to drift apart. Just like in golf, new clubs do not fix a swing that is fundamentally wrong.

  • Do extra tools really solve your problems?
  • Are your dashboards telling you the full story, or do green checkmarks create a false sense of comfort?
  • Which risks already exist in your environment, unseen and unknown?

Join our session with experts Kristof Laerenbergh & Jahirt Ruiz op Cybersec Europe - 21/05/2026 ( 2:30PM, Theatre 2).

During this session, we show how ACEN tackles these challenges through a ‘control tower’, an approach shaped by years of hands on experience. It helps restore direction in security and makes deviations visible before they turn into real issues.

Make sure your strategy does not end with a ball in the water, but swings back toward a true hole in one.
