Microsoft 365 App Security: Lessons from ConnectWise

In October 2026, attackers got into 173 Microsoft 365 environments without stealing a single user password. They used a compromised credential belonging to a trusted backup app, so the apps connected to your business now need the same attention as your users’ accounts.

When a Trusted Tool Becomes the Way In

You protect your passwords, and your team uses MFA. But what about the apps that connect to your business every day?

ConnectWise makes software that IT providers use to manage and protect their clients’ technology. In October, attackers stole a digital key belonging to its Cloud Backup service (formerly SkyKick). They used it to get into the Microsoft 365 accounts of hundreds of businesses.
They didn’t need anyone’s password or phone code. They simply posed as a trusted tool.
The lesson
Protecting your people’s accounts isn’t enough anymore. The apps connected to your business need protection too.
Stay a step ahead: 
✔️ Know which apps can access your data
✔️ Give each app only the access it truly needs
✔️ Watch for unusual activity before it becomes a problem.
No solution removes every risk, but staying proactive makes a real difference.

Ask yourself about:

What are connected apps in Microsoft 365?

Connected apps are the backup, migration, CRM, e-signature and IT management tools that you or your IT provider have allowed to work with your Microsoft 365 data. Most were approved once, for a good reason, and then forgotten. Over time they build up access that nobody reviews.

How do I know which apps are connected to my Microsoft 365 right now?

Your administrator can list them in Microsoft Entra, but the harder part is judging which ones have more access than they need. TEKNOLOGIIA’s Tekno365 specialists can map every connected app, flag hidden risks and give you a clear, prioritized list. Book a cloud security review.

What should I do if my IT provider uses a tool that was in the news?

Ask the provider which apps they have connected to your tenant, what access each one has, and what they have done since the incident. If you would like an independent second opinion, contact the TEKNOLOGIIA team and we will review it with you.
