McAfee MVISION Cloud
provides secure management
of Microsoft Teams
/////////////////////////////
McAfee MVISION cloud enhances sensitive
data detection, collaboration controls, threat
protection and activity monitoring capabilities
in Microsoft Teams.
McAfee, a device-to-cloud cybersecurity company, has
announced that McAfee MVISION Cloud now supports
encryption enhancements in Microsoft Teams, including
encrypted webhooks and encrypted payloads.
This enables organisations to improve productivity of their
employees by letting them use Teams as a collaboration platform,
participate in conversations and calls and upload and share
documents while ensuring customer data remains secure with
encryption when evaluated by McAfee MVISION Cloud. By staying
abreast of the enhancements in Teams, McAfee MVISION Cloud
remains one of the only Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB) that is
Certified for Microsoft Teams.
Working from home has become a new reality for many as more
and more companies are requesting that their staff work remotely.
Teams, the hub for teamwork in Microsoft 365, integrates the
people, content and tools employees need to be more engaged
and effective.
Microsoft has seen an unprecedented spike in Teams usage with
more than 44 million daily users – a figure that has grown by 12
million in just seven days. Those users generate over 900 million
meeting and calling minutes on Teams each day as employees work
from home. Employers must not only educate their employees on
digital security best practices but also give them the tools to combat
online threats that may stem from remote work.
“Effective collaboration allows organisations to accelerate business.
However, it is critical to have the right guardrails in place to protect
from accidental data leakage or misuse,” said Rajiv Gupta, Senior
Vice President and General Manager of Cloud Security, McAfee.
“McAfee MVISION Cloud provides these capabilities for
Microsoft Teams, assuring that only the right data is shared
with the appropriate internal and external parties. This helps
protect corporate data and intellectual property, and meet
governance, risk and compliance policies thus enabling effective
and safe collaboration.”
McAfee MVISION Cloud for Teams leverages McAfee’s Cloud
Access Security Broker (CASB) technology in a single, unified
platform offering a frictionless, cloud-native solution for
organisations to consistently protect their data and defend against
threats in the cloud. •
