Microsoft teams Security for Collaboration
Microsoft Teams is the hub of collaboration for many organizations, and Microsoft is rolling out new security features to help keep users, their data, and their conversations safe. Microsoft Defender for Office 365 provides proactive and comprehensive protection to help organizations stay secure. Microsoft announced the launch of new collaboration security capabilities for Microsoft Teams, which include:

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) helps organizations protect sensitive data in Teams. DLP helps protect users from accidentally sharing sensitive information in conversations, chats, and files. It also helps organizations identify and fix sensitive data that’s already been shared. DLP also allows IT administrators to set up policies that can prevent users from sharing sensitive information in Teams, including credit card numbers and healthcare information.

Information Rights Management
Information Rights Management (IRM) helps protect sensitive data by encrypting files that are shared in Teams. Files are encrypted using an encryption key, which can be managed by IT administrators. With IRM, users can control who can view, edit, and print files that are shared in Teams. This helps protect data from being accessed or modified by unauthorized users.

Cloud App Security
Cloud App Security helps organizations secure their data in Teams by monitoring and analyzing user activity. Cloud App Security can detect suspicious or malicious activity, such as the downloading of sensitive data or the sharing of files with external users. It can also detect anomalous user behavior, such as a user logging in from a different location or accessing data that they don’t typically access. Cloud App Security can alert IT administrators of any suspicious activity, allowing them to take action quickly.

Secure Score
Secure Score helps organizations measure their security posture and identify areas for improvement. It provides an overall score that shows the organization’s security posture and provides recommendations for improving it. Secure Score also provides an in-depth look at an organization’s security posture, listing out areas where improvements can be made. Organizations can use Secure Score to improve their security posture and ensure that their data is secure.

Conclusion
Microsoft Teams is an essential collaboration tool for many organizations, and Microsoft is launching new security features to help protect users, their data, and their conversations. With DLP, IRM, Cloud App Security, and Secure Score, organizations can protect their data and ensure that it remains secure.
