Major Microsoft Teams Security Upgrade Coming in October

Heads up: Microsoft Teams is getting a major security upgrade this October that will make your workspace safer.

New Rules for Admins

It’s introducing new rules. Admins must evaluate apps and extensions before they’re deployed.

What This Means for Your Business

Starting next month, your IT admins will have tools to check the safety of apps and Copilot extensions. This includes detailed security and certification information such as results from Microsoft 365 security tests, and proof provided by app creators.

For apps that aren’t yet certified, admins will get info on how the app handles data and its overall security.

Part of Microsoft’s Ongoing Security Efforts

This new feature is part of Microsoft’s ongoing effort to improve security across its platforms, especially Teams.

Do You Review Security Info?

Do you look at security info or, like many business owners and managers, just assume the platform is on top of it?

If you’re an admin, Microsoft Teams will make responsible for every app and Copilot extension your organization uses on the platform (windowsreport.com)
