Hi experts,
for months... I've been struggling with understanding how MS Teams is present/installed on our company and laptops and why I see 20 devices out of 65 total in defender marked as "Update Microsoft Teams" as the number 2 of "TOP SECURITY RECOMMENDATIONS".
It looks like the rest of the devices are just fine... but for few months... I still have 20 devices there... including mine. So lets try to focus on mine.
I am using "NEW MS Teams" version below (checking this via TEAMS > Settings)
When I check via "Add / Remove programs", I see the below:
So I guess the Microsoft Teams on the top is the NEW TEAMS that I use... The other two are not reported as vulnerable in Defender - picture will be below.
Now, this is what I see in Defender SW inventory for my laptop when I search for TEAMS:
My Questions:
- why I can't see the version of TEAMS there that I see when checking my TEAMS > Settings?
- the two other TEAMS (add-in and machine-wide) are not marked as vulnerable, so thats fine
- what are the other TEAMS that are displayed in DEFENDER SW inventory for my laptop?
- and the most important one - HOW DO I PATCH the vulnerable ones? If I do not seem to have them installed?
I am so confused by this.... and it is really frustrating as it affect negatively the Vulnerability Score that is one of our key indicator for checking our overall security 😕
thanks for any advice
