Microsoft Cloud App Security, also known as MCAS, helps an IT of an organization by generating alerts for any suspicious activity/Policy violation/Misuse of data by their users; there are challenges in addressing the same in a timely manner due to the need of manual intervention by IT. This not only affects the overall resolution time of the alerts but may also affect the business for not addressing them on time. We can overcome this challenge by integrating Microsoft Teams with the MCAS to notify admins/Security Operation Center of any policy violations or suspicious activities being reported there, increasing the response and resolution time.
MCAS has the ability to proactively monitor data and applications of an organization and then automatically enforce policies including classifying documents and messages that contain confidential and sensitive information like user’s credit card number and social security number etc. When we integrate the MCAS with Teams with the help of Microsoft Flow, it automatically notifies the admins/Security Operation Center about an issue by sending a message to a channel in Teams whenever an alert triggered in the MCAS.
