Microsoft Teams is rapidly becoming a leading go-to tool for time-sensitive communication worldwide.
The enormously high value this service offers beyond what on-premise solutions do is not without a downside, however.
One critical vulnerability that many organizations which use Microsoft Teams and similar cloud-based UC services are exposed to is unauthorized access from unmanaged devices.
Restricting access to Microsoft Teams by UEM/EMM/MDM has always been challenging due to the fact that the service is not under the company’s control, as it may be accessible from any device and at any location.
Moreover, UC cloud services come with the challenge of working with protocols other than HTTPS, as well as the need to preserve call quality level.
In other words, even when your organization is using an MDM to keep secure, employees may still log into the company’s Microsoft Teams using personal, unmanaged and non-compliant devices – placing your company at risk.
