A typical small or midsize business (SMB) that runs SaaS applications like Microsoft 365 faces roughly four Brute Force Attacks per day -- a reality that presents both a challenge and an opportunity for MSPs, according to the first SASI (SaaS Application Security Insights) report from SaaS Alerts.
A Brute Force Attack uses automated trial-and-error software to guess a user or system's login info. Such attacks are frequently tied to SaaS account hacks involving Microsoft 365, WordPress and more. The SASI report is based on anonymised application security records for over 100 MSPs, 750 SMBs businesses and more than 30,000 end-users. Most of those SMBs, supported by MSPs, run Microsoft 365 -- though a small minority run Google Workspace.
