<div>New Outlook's security issues: Businesses should avoid switching!</div>

Microsoft’s “new Outlook” (introduced in 2022) has been promoted as an upgrade, but its implementation introduces severe data protection concerns - so severe that it’s fair to say it’s a downgrade rather than an upgrade. Regardless, Microsoft increasingly pushes personal and business Outlook users to switch to the new Outlook. But IT admins should be warned: If employees press the toggle to switch to the new Outlook, they risk unintentional breaches of data protection laws, as all emails and login credentials are automatically stored on Microsoft’s cloud servers. This poses significant compliance issues, especially for businesses handling sensitive data.
