Η Microsoft ανακοίνωσε σήμερα ότι αργότερα αυτό το μήνα, θα διαθέσει ένα νέο χαρακτηριστικό ασφαλείας σε ορισμένες εφαρμογές του Office 365 Pro Plus (ναι και στην συνδρομητική service the company's). Microsoft will make the Advanced feature available Threat Protection Safe Links, το οποίο θα εμποδίζει τους τελικούς χρήστες από ακούσια κλικ σε κακόβουλους συνδέσμους.
The security feature will be embedded in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Microsoft has already built the same feature into its Outlook e-mail program for desktop with, web, and all mobile versions.
Now it looks like it's the turn of some of Microsoft's most prominent productivity apps. When a person tries to open a dangerous link from Word, Excel, or PowerPoint they will be taken to a σελίδα warning, instead of the destination of the connection. From there, it is up to the end user if they want to bypass the warning and go to the destination of the link.
"We have always intended to provide our customers with an end-to-end, unified and secure experience across all Office 365 applications, and extending the Safe Links feature is an example of our steps towards that goal." his team mentions Office 365 in a blog post.
In Outlook, administrators can prevent users from visiting the destination link from the warning page. Administrators can also see the links that users click.
