Important update for CIOs and IT leaders managing identity and access: From February 2026, Microsoft Entra will automatically block authentication on rooted or jailbroken mobile devices when using the Microsoft Authenticator app. This means credentials issued on compromised devices will no longer be valid, marking a significant advancement in strengthening zero-trust security and protecting organisational identities at the endpoint. Key Actions for IT Teams - No admin action is required as this update will be secure by default. - Review your MDM and BYOD frameworks to ensure compliance. - Communicate early with users who rely on Authenticator for MFA to minimise disruption. Microsoft continues to strike the right balance between usability and security, reinforcing Entra’s position as a leader in identity governance and access protection. As a certified Microsoft Partner, Managed247 can work with your teams as a co-managed service assisting with work such as this, freeing your team up to get on with the work that powers your growth.

Is your business ready for a cyber attack? At a time when we’re seeing more and more high-profile attacks in the headlines, the Government is advising companies to write down their cyber attack plans on good old-fashioned pen and paper so that it’s still accessible if systems go down. The National Cyber-Security Centre (NCSC) has observed a rise in “nationally significant” attacks this year, so there’s never been a better time to make sure your company is prepared. Quoted in the BBC, their CEO advises businesses to “have a plan for how they would continue to operate without their IT, (and rebuild that IT at pace), were an attack to get through”. We can help with that, and with all aspects of your cyber security. Find out how we can work together to make sure your business is secure around the clock: managed.co.uk/cyber-security #cybersecurity #cyberattacks #MSSP

On Thursday 4th September, we held our All Hands event at the fantastic Unity Place in Central Milton Keynes. It was great to take a step back and look at everything we’ve achieved together in 2025, as well as share our ambitious plans for what’s next for 2026 and beyond. The auditorium was buzzing, the energy was high, and it was brilliant to see so many of the team in one place. Afterwards, we headed up to the Sky Lounge for food, music, and some amazing views across MK. It was the perfect way to round off the evening and spend some time together outside of the day-to-day. Thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a great night — here is to 2026 Here are a few photos of our brilliant team from the night
