Most Small Businesses are Already Paying for Security They Aren’t Using

Many small businesses have spent years paying for Microsoft 365 licenses and security add-ons they never fully deployed. Microsoft’s latest licensing updates—including new Business Premium security capabilities, Defender Suite, Purview Suite, E3, E5, and E7 changes—make it even more important to understand what you’re already paying for. Before spending more on cybersecurity tools, organizations should first evaluate whether they’re maximizing the security, compliance, and identity protection features already included in their Microsoft licenses.
