Do Not Forget to Securely Lock Your Data in Microsoft

Teams

By Johanna Reisacher, Marketing Manager, Secomba GmbH

More and more employees work from home. As a result, in the last months the demand for Microsoft
products, especially Microsoft Teams, has increased. Therefore, in many companies and organizations,
a large amount of business data travels back and forth across different teams and channels in Microsoft
Teams every day. This data must be protected just as reliably as all other data used in the company.
Up until now, it has not been possible to protect data with end-to-end encryption directly in Microsoft
Teams. The German encryption software Boxcryptor offers a solution to this privacy concern.

In the following, we will explain why you should use end-to-end encryption to protect your data. We will
show you what the Microsoft Teams integration of the encryption software Boxcryptor looks like.

Data Protection and Encryption in Microsoft Teams

Video files, audio files, information that you share while chatting or in private messages, and files that
you store privately for yourself or for common collaboration in a project group — there is a lot of data that
accumulates during the daily use of Microsoft Teams.
