The tenant allow/block list is a security control in Microsoft Defender for Office 365 that lets administrators block or allow specific file types, URLs, and senders across Microsoft Teams chats and channels. Recent updates integrate Teams with this list to proactively block weaponizable files and malicious URLs at delivery and click time, reducing malware and phishing risks. This feature shifts security from reactive investigation to proactive blocking, giving IT teams centralized control over collaboration threats. The tenant allow/block list is a key tool for managing security policies in Microsoft 365 environments, particularly for organizations using Teams for communication and file sharing.
