Microsoft is set to introduce a new Security Detection Report within the Teams admin center, providing administrators with an eagerly awaited, comprehensive way to monitor messaging-based threats across their organization. The feature, tracked under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 560702, integrates previously scattered threat signals into a single dashboard, making it significantly easier for security teams to identify and respond to malicious activity happening through Teams chats and channels. Instead of having to cross-reference multiple tools to piece together a picture of ongoing attacks, the report presents a centralized chart showing detection volume over a selected date range, paired with a detailed table listing individual detections.
Admins can download chart-level summaries and full table records as CSV files, which is particularly useful for integrating security information and event management (SIEM) workflows or documenting incidents during compliance reviews. Initially planned for mid-July 2026, it was pushed back to late June, and most recently, general availability is set to start in late August 2026 with a global rollout expected by early September 2026 for worldwide standard multi-tenant customers. Security teams should verify that malicious link and file scanning settings are enabled in Messaging Safety during the upcoming weeks, and update their investigation runbooks to treat Teams as a first-class signal source once the feature reaches general availability.
