I am in the middle of an IT and Cyber Security audit for a company – which is why Diana is covering the CyberAwake articles at the moment. During the interviews I conduct, as part of my process, I was told no one used a global administrator account as their daily driver.
You know what is coming now…
When I investigated further I found there was one global admin account in the wild.
Why is this important? For that let me refer you to this article on Bleeping Computer:
Over 400,000 corporate credentials stolen by info-stealing malware (bleepingcomputer.com)
If your global admin accounts are compromised – you have a serious cyber security problem.
If you do not know if your global admin accounts are safe – and think outside the box, I am not just talking about Microsoft 365 and Azure, think about all the software and services you use – then it is time to call us:

Just one more thing…
I have an IT and Cyber Security audit project I am running for an organisation on the other side of the country – I have not visited the site at all. This has benefits on the cost for the client – no travel and no hotel costs. It reduces onsite disruption as my interviews do not all have to be done in one day. Even the office tours are done on Teams using the local office manager’s phone!
Does this sound like something that would interest you and your board?
