On October 26, 2026, Microsoft announced that it will add AI security features to Teams to identify phishing, scams, and identity theft by analyzing conversation content, with a focus on new contacts. The feature no longer only checks malicious links and files, but instead identifies suspicious behavior in messages. Microsoft stated that messages will not be stored or used to train models, nor will they be used for monitoring or advertising. The feature will begin rolling out in early November 2026 and is expected to be fully available in the first half of December; IT teams will not need to configure anything, as it will be enabled automatically.
