Think of it as having a digital bouncer for your data, keeping out unwanted guests. It includes ransomware detection and recovery, password protection, and file encryption. So, you can be assured that your sensitive information is secure. 

Bonus Features: Because Why Not? 

Let’s not forget the additional perks. With Microsoft 365 Family, you get access to premium versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more. Perfect for everything from school assignments to planning the next big road trip to the Garden Route. Plus, with up to 6 users, everyone in the household can stay synced and productive.
