Originally posted by Microsoft Mar 3, 2022 Microsoft Teams 0 Comments

Workflows let you automate repetitive tasks or processes that connect one or more apps to Teams. In short, they can save you time and effort. Teams users will be able to browse, add, and manage this unified platform capability from the Teams store and from several other contexts within Teams. Many workflows run automatically without further user action once they’ve been set up; others can be run manually from the messaging area in Teams or from individual messages. Find more information here.

Microsoft 365 compliance center: Microsoft 365 data loss prevention on-premises scanner (US Government clouds)

Originally posted by Microsoft Mar 1, 2022 Microsoft 365 compliance center 0 Comments

Microsoft 365 DLP on-premises scanner relies on a full implementation of the Azure Information Protection (AIP) scanner to monitor, label, and protect sensitive items. It crawls on-premises data-at-rest in file shares and SharePoint document libraries and folders for sensitive items that, if leaked, would pose a risk to your organization, or pose a risk of compliance policy violation. This gives you the visibility and control you need to ensure that sensitive items are used and protected properly, and to help prevent risky behavior that might compromise them. The information about what the users are doing with sensitive items is made visible in Activity explorer and you can enforce protective actions on those items via DLP policies.
