Microsoft has published its Digital Defense Report 2022, sharing insights on how the digital threat landscape is evolving and how to mitigate these issues. Microsoft’s report includes five chapters covering the state of cybercrime, nation-state threats, devices and infrastructure, cyber influence operations and cyber resilience.
One of the report’s key findings is that password attacks have grown by 74% compared with last year’s results, increasing to approximately 921 attacks per second.
Microsoft has also removed over 10,000 domains used by cybercriminals and 600 used by nation-state actors.
In addition, 93% of the company’s ransomware incident response engagements show insufficient controls regarding privileged access and lateral movement.
Further, Microsoft notes that having robust cyber hygiene practices continues to be the best defence, with cloud delivering physical and logical security against cyber attacks.
The release of this report comes after Microsoft introduced Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability to help other organisations accelerate their sustainability progress to reduce their environmental footprint. With support from Microsofts partners, they are continuing to add ESG capabilities and release updates to the extensible platform.
The goal is to help organisations around the globe unify sustainability data intelligence and more easily track and reduce the environmental footprint of their operations and value chains.
Reining in more elusive emissions data
With Microsoft Sustainability Manager, organisations can store and report on emissions data across Scopes 1 and 2 and harder to track Scope 3 indirect value chain emissions that account for a disproportionate share of most organisations’ footprints.
With this update, Microsoft enables organisations to ingest waste data, track waste partners, track disposal methods and materials, and make required calculations based on tailored models.
Customers can also track any fuel- or power-related emissions that occur within their operations from a leased facility or asset, calculate the emissions according to activity and reporting needs, and set and track goals for future efficiencies and reduction.
