Regardless of your security concerns and actions, you could still find the risk of your data exposure and online threats, even in the apps of Microsoft Office 365, until now! Microsoft will soon introduce a change in the online Office 365 suite, as the client application is now integrated with Antimalware Scan Interface. This course of action has been taken due to the bad-intended actors who embedded malware in the form of scripts and macros in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. With the reports of the previous week, Microsoft posted on their official blog page mentioning about a regeneration that will soon take place as an action against the macro-based malware threats evolved in recent years. The organization has also invested to counter the threat and improve detection mechanisms solutions, which will analyze bad macros by threat security solutions in the cloud. Meanwhile, Microsoft is also unveiling the solution by AMSI, which is an open interface that is available to any other antivirus applications. To leverage the new security service, active users may need to visit offce.com/setup and check their subscriptions. In case the validity is expiring, renewal of the product is mandatory.
