It’s the funniest thing today. None of the 3 buttons do a damn thing. I couldn’t use Teams properly or Excel or teams web because it’s blocked. I’m in support so user’s start to flag it to me as well. Got in touch with my mate in Sec turns out it’s an automated response from defender flagging its own backend as malicious cloud provider or something like that.
Edit: title, it turns out it’s the Info Sec team who went a bit overboard with the block listing.
This error message is explicitly triggered from a conditional access policy or defender for endpoint policy, likely in your orgs EntraID acct.
Microsoft didn't add it's own URL to a disallow list here. This was ham fisted IT admin work. Possibly a decent move, but not the right way to do it. Also your mate in security doesn't know wtf he's talking about. This dialogue box shows up only resulting in policy conflict. It is 100% user (it admin) generated.
As the dialog box suggests, you should consult with your orgs it admin. They probably updated a rule to block unknown apps and are including more than they should or something.
This is definitely not, as your mate suggested, Microsoft blocking itself.
I'm happy to bash Microsoft all day but this isn't how we do it. You're embarrassing your IT admin and your mate in security more than Microsoft in this post.
That’s fair enough. Wouldn’t surprise me to be honest the Sec team has this shoot first mentality and often go to far. They are pretty apple oriented so that sounds about right.
Edit: shot >shoot (I can’t spell)
A security team being apple oriented is a bright red flag to me off the bat, but perhaps I'm being judgy.
Oh there’s much to judge here on an org lvl I’m afraid. 🥲
I used the Windows Security to destroy the Windows security.
Wait, it knows? Is Windows defender developing self-awareness before LLMs?
Edit: typo
Seems wise
