How to secure your Microsoft Exchange server

When in late 2025, the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Security Agency (NSA), in collaboration with international cybersecurity partners, created a best practice guide for Microsoft Exchange server security, an ever-so-relevant question arose: Why now?

It’s always a good idea to proactively mitigate risk! Of course, but isn’t that a widely accepted cybersecurity standard?
