IT Professionals,
On Friday, February 24, Safe Links will be implemented in Microsoft Teams.
Safe Links, which has been implemented in Exchange since March 2022, provides URL scanning and rewriting to help protect the IU community from malicious links that are used in phishing and other attacks. Microsoft recommends that Safe Links should also be implemented in Microsoft Teams. The process is slightly different than in Exchange email; instead of rewriting a link, a real-time query is made to a Microsoft API to determine the safety of the link. While the process is slightly different, the popup message (in the event of a malicious link) is the same. We have tested this system internally and found no discernable impact.
Refer to the KB for additional information about Safe Links.
