Ensure Zero-hour auto purge for Microsoft Teams is on
Why This Matters
Zero-hour auto purge (ZAP) provides a critical safety net for Microsoft Teams communications by retroactively detecting and removing malware and high-confidence phishing messages that slip through initial defenses. Without ZAP enabled, users remain exposed to weaponized content delivered up to 48 hours prior, where zero-day malware or phishing links can compromise accounts and data. Enabling this feature ensures automated retroactive action on malicious content that traditional scanning may miss at the moment of delivery.
