Microsoft has integrated the Power Automate workflow experience directly into SharePoint Online. This allows users to view, create, and manage workflows without leaving the SharePoint site interface.

Storm-2949 is a sophisticated identity-based attack campaign where a single compromised Microsoft 365 account can lead to wider access across Microsoft 365 and Azure environments. Instead of relying on malware, the attackers abused trusted Microsoft services, MFA workflows, tokens, and permissions to silently move deeper into the environment.
The new Security Detection Report in the Teams admin center helps admins monitor messaging threats across Teams, including impersonation attempts, malicious links, and weaponizable file types. Available from late June 2026, it enables admins to review threats, export detection details, and block malicious external users identified in the report.
Microsoft has rolled out a redesigned dashboard in the Microsoft 365 admin center that brings together the management of Microsoft 365 services, Copilot, AI agents, and more. The updated experience introduces a cleaner layout, streamlined navigation, and centralized insights across users, licensing, service health, and recommendations.
AI tools and agents boost productivity, but unmanaged usage often leads to hidden data leaks and security gaps. Microsoft introduces the Shadow AI page in the Microsoft 365 admin center (Frontier preview) to help you identify and block unauthorized AI agents before they become a risk.
