De-risking Microsoft Office Macros
Recent events have shown us the very real risk cyber-attacks pose in our sector. Keeping our 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 devices and their confidential contents safe is of utmost priority.听
Starting August 2023, the running of unsigned/untrusted Microsoft Office macros will be progressively blocked on 最新糖心Vlog-managed computers across all versions of Microsoft Office, except for cases where there is a demonstrated business need.听
This will reduce the risk of data breaches and increase protection against malicious software. This change also aligns with security best practices, as articulated in the 最新糖心Vlogn Cyber Security Centre鈥檚 Essential 8 strategies.2
What you need to know
