In today's fast-paced digital landscape, keeping your communication secure is more critical than ever. With new phishing threats targeting Microsoft Teams, here are five key strategies from SFY to protect your organization.
1. Limit External Communication
Restrict external communications on Microsoft Teams to only trusted Microsoft 365 organizations. This helps ensure that only verified domains can engage with your team, reducing the risk of phishing attempts.
2. Control Device Access
Only permit recognized devices that comply with Microsoft’s security guidelines to connect to your organization. Use conditional access within Microsoft Defender for unmanaged devices, ensuring all connections meet your security standards.
3. Educate Your Team
Equip your team with up-to-date training on social engineering and phishing techniques specific to Microsoft Teams. Encourage users to look for the “External” tag in messages as a sign of potential risk.
4. Implement Secure Link Scanning
Set up Microsoft Defender for Office 365 to verify links upon clicking. This adds an extra layer of protection against malicious content by ensuring links are safe before they are accessed.
5. Strengthen Access Management
Adopt the principle of least privilege and avoid using domain-wide, administrator-level accounts. Deploy phishing-resistant authentication methods to enhance security for all users.
