Microsoft 365 is experiencing a major outage affecting Outlook, Teams, and Copilot worldwide. Microsoft has confirmed it is investigating, but no resolution timeline has been given.
The security and resilience conversation here isn't about the outage itself - platform incidents happen. The more important question is what happens inside your organisation when core services disappear without warning. Identity, email, collaboration, and in many cases MFA delivery all run through Microsoft's infrastructure. If those controls are unavailable, what does your fallback look like?
Business continuity planning that assumes cloud availability is not continuity planning. If your incident response or DR documentation hasn't been tested against a scenario where M365 is inaccessible, today is a timely prompt to do that work.
