Microsoft makes changes to how its team’s video conference platform deals with potentially malicious file types in an attempt to reduce malware and file -based attacks by blocking messages that contain dangerous file types such as executable substances.
In the future, Microsoft -Teams will also warn and warn users of malicious URLs in chats and channels in the hope of reducing malicious payload delivered from online places.
The two updates have been revealed in timetable items (499892 and 499893) and are on the track for a roll -out in September 2025.
Teams make changes to protect users from attack
Microsoft has been busy making important security updates for teams in recent years following an increase in remote work after the pandemic.
Recently, Microsoft added a new feature to prevent screens on protected calls by turning the screen black to protect sensitive meeting content.
Teams also integrate with Defender for Office 365 Tenant’s allowed/block lists, allowing security administrators to block communication from blocked domains managed from the defender portal. Currently in targeted release, this feature is also expected to land on the shelves at the end of September 2025.
It is not only sophisticated attacks that Microsoft protects against-even simple errors and “cardiac-stopping ‘ups’ moments’ are covered with a new update called sensitive content detection in teams that automatically scan for potentially sensitive information such as credit card numbers, and warns the screenshot and meet the administrator for the final sharing before the information comes in the wrong hands.
With over 320 million active users and counting, Microsoft’s regular updates to Teams have kept one of the most widely used online collaboration platforms, and the company’s obligation to add new features, such as upcoming iOS Live Activity -Widgets, as well as important security departments, helps everyone keep users engaged.
