Microsoft Teams is Fueling Collaboration for the Remote Workforce
Microsoft Teams (Teams) has seen a surge in growth during the pandemic with over 115M daily active users and growing. With it, the risk of security and insider threats has also increased exponentially.
The speed and simplicity in which business users can create new teams and channels presents new challenges for IT and security groups tasked with ensuring business-critical information is properly protected; with many choosing to simply turn off information sharing and guest access.
Don’t miss out on important Teams collaboration features, learn how to dynamically secure employee and guest access to teams, channels, files and chats to get the most out of your investment.
Human Error is Collaboration’s Achilles Heel
User managed tools like Microsoft Teams make it difficult to keep track of data and ensure that an organization’s information security, sharing and usage policies are being followed as new teams and channels can quickly be spun up by users, not IT.
The applications that organizations are most concerned with securing include file sharing (68%), the web (47%), video conferencing (45%), and messaging (35%), which is not surprising given these collaboration tools like Teams form the backbone of remote work. The concerns are valid when when you consider 63% of insider-related incidents are the result of negligence and simple human error, with another 23% related to criminal insiders.
From sharing confidential files or sensitive information with the wrong recipient, to including regulated or confidential data in a chat, these costly mistakes are hard to avoid if you rely upon user behavior and training to safeguard collaboration in Teams.
