Microsoft Teams: Report a Security Concern in Meetings

🚨 The Signal: Teams meetings now allow users to report suspicious activity directly. This enhances threat detection for impersonation, phishing, and scams, integrating with Microsoft security workflows for faster investigation and remediation.

The Impact

All users are affected, enabling them to report in-meeting threats, reducing the risk of successful social engineering attacks.

• End Users: Empowered to report suspicious activity, reducing personal risk.
• Security Team: Gains new telemetry for in-meeting threats, improving incident response.
• Administrators: May see an increase in security reports requiring investigation.
• Organisations: Enhanced threat detection reduces overall security posture risk.

The Action

1. Communicate new reporting capability to end-users via internal security awareness campaigns.
2. Review existing incident response playbooks to incorporate Teams meeting reports.
3. Monitor Microsoft 365 Message Center for any related administrative controls or settings.
4. Train security operations centre (SOC) staff on handling Teams meeting security reports.
