Secured Microsoft Teams Messages
Avanan connects with Microsoft Teams using Microsoft APIs.
As Microsoft APIs are primarily designed to tackle DLP challenges and not malware/phishing messages, they allow different security levels based on whether the sender is within the organization and whether it is a direct message or part of a team channel conversation. These limitations affect both DLP and malicious message scenarios.
