McAfee unveils integration with
Microsoft Teams for cloud security
cAfee, the device-to-cloud
cybersecurity company,
has announced McAfee
MVISION Cloud for Microsoft Teams, a
comprehensive security and compliance
integration for Teams. McAfee MVISION
Cloud for Microsoft Teams is an
extension to the already available
comprehensive security solution
that McAfee MVISION Cloud has for
Microsoft Office 365.

This solution complements Team’s
capabilities by using a frictionless
API-based cloud-native approach that
allows IT teams to seamlessly enforce
data loss prevention (DLP) policies and
collaboration controls, contextual access
control, address threats from insiders
and compromised accounts, audit all
user activity and secure corporate data
as users collaborate in the cloud.
Teams is a chat-based workspace in
Office 365 that brings together people,
conversations and content – along with
the tools that teams need – so they can
easily collaborate to achieve more. It’s
integrated with the familiar Office 365
applications and is built from the ground
up on the Office 365, secure cloud.
“McAfee MVISION Cloud enables IT and
security teams to consistently enforce
security and compliance controls
across all their SaaS, PaaS and IaaS
applications, including Microsoft Teams,”
said Rajiv Gupta, Vice President of the
Cloud Security Business Unit.

Teams channels, enforcing policies
based on keywords, fingerprints,
data identifiers, regular expressions
and match highlighting for content
and metadata
Collaboration control: messages
or files posted in channels can be
restricted to specific users, including
blocking the sharing of data to any
external location
Comprehensive remediation:
enables auditing of regulated
data uploaded to Microsoft Teams
and remediates policy violations
by coaching users, notifying
administrators, quarantining,
tombstoning, restoring and deleting
user actions. End users can
autonomously correct their actions,
removing incidents from IT’s queue
Threat prevention: empowers
organisations to detect and prevent
anomalous behaviour indicative of
insider threats and compromised
accounts. McAfee captures a
complete record of all user activity
in Teams and leverages Machine
Learning to analyse activity across
multiple heuristics to accurately
detect threats
Forensic investigations: with an
auto-generated, detailed audit trail
of all user activity, McAfee MVISION
Cloud for Microsoft Teams provides
rich capabilities for forensics
and investigations
On-the-go security, for on-the-
go policies: helps secure multiple
access modes, including browsers
and native apps, and applies
controls based on contextual factors,
including user, device, data and
location. Personal devices lacking
adequate control over data can be
blocked from access. u
