IFF Assessment
This feature empowers defenders by providing better visibility and control over potentially unauthorized or malicious bots attempting to join sensitive meetings.
Defender Context
This change aims to mitigate risks associated with unvetted third-party integrations in collaborative environments. Defenders should ensure their organizations are aware of this new tagging system and configure appropriate policies for bot access within Teams meetings to prevent unauthorized entry and potential data exfiltration or disruption.
