    New Features Introduced in September 2025

    Learn about the new features that became available in SaaS Security in September 2025.

    Enhanced Web Interface for Microsoft Teams Onboarding in Data Security

    Microsoft Teams is a cloud-based team collaboration platform from Microsoft that serves as a hub for communication and teamwork within the Microsoft 365 suite. It integrates chat, video meetings, file sharing, and app integration to create a unified workspace for teams and organizations, accessible on various devices, including web, desktop, and mobile.
    The Microsoft Teams connector app onboarding process has been enhanced with a new wizard-based flow that simplifies the configuration experience and ensures proper setup. This feature transforms the previously complex onboarding process into a structured, step-by-step journey that guides you through understanding connector capabilities, ensuring proper permissions, completing authentication, configuring instance settings, and validating your setup. This approach reduces configuration errors, ensures all prerequisites are met, and provides clarity on the connector's capabilities and limitations. For Microsoft Teams specifically, the wizard includes important validations for Office 365 integration and license requirements, preventing potential issues with attachment scanning and ensuring proper license compliance before you begin scanning your environment.
    The new wizard-based onboarding comes with the following enhancements:
    1. Prerequisites—The wizard presents a comprehensive overview at the beginning, detailing connector features and prerequisites, helping you prepare for successful onboarding.
    2. Permissions—You can verify required access and approvals and understand supported capabilities before proceeding with authentication.
    3. Authentication—Select the authentication method and review the permissions you have from Microsoft Teams.
    4. Configuration—Customize your Microsoft Teams instance by specifying a name.
    5. Summary—The final summary step provides a health check and validation overview, confirming that all necessary permissions are in place. You can either save your instance or start scanning.

    Enhanced Web Interface in Data Asset Policy Rules

    Data Security enables you to add new data policy rules for scanning assets (content) stored on your sanctioned SaaS applications. For example, you can create a policy that triggers an alert based on match criteria (for example, an asset's exposure is set to Public) needed to protect a specific asset.
    When you create a new data asset policy rule, you have the option to automatically remediate incidents that violate that policy rule. Automatic remediation is a powerful tool and can modify a large number of assets in a short amount of time: before you include these remediation actions in additional policy rules, perform a test using one policy rule and a small set of assets.
    The previous single-step data asset policy rule creation has been enhanced and consists of three steps, which make policy rule creation more intuitive and efficient. The three steps are:
    1. General Information
    2. Match Criteria
    3. Rule Actions
    The new web interface comes with the following enhancements:
    • Color-coded configuration status: If you configure your match criteria correctly, a green color border appears on those specific match criteria items. If you configure your match criteria incorrectly or leave it incomplete and try to proceed with the next step, a red color border appears on those specific match criteria items along with a specific error message. You can also reset the configuration if you want to get back to the default setting for that specific match criteria.
    • Specific error messages which help you to resolve issues as you configure a match criteria.
    • Additional filter parameters when configuring some match criteria. For example, the Activity match criteria has additional filters like Calendar date and Relative date; Data Profiles have the And or Or option for you to choose a combination of multiple data profiles.
