Overview

Microsoft Teams is a communication platform developed by Microsoft as part of the Microsoft 365 family of products. It offers employees and external collaborators to chat, meet online, and share files. Avanan adds security, privacy, and compliance to Microsoft Teams by scanning messages and files shared on a chat or a team for malicious content and data loss prevention (DLP) and generates actionable events on malicious content.

Avanan scans the messages and files shared through direct messaging or a team.

How it works

Avanan adds a layer of security that provides these security features for Microsoft Teams:

  • Data Leak Prevention (DLP): Protecting sensitive text messages and files

  • Anti-Malware: Scanning of files for malicious content

  • URL Reputation: Blocking malicious links within files and messages

  • User Behavior Anomaly: Identifying suspicious login and compromised accounts

  • Remediation: Tombstoning malicious files or sensitive files and messages
