Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive Are Attack Surfaces Too — Acronis Collaboration Security by palmiq

Acronis Collaboration Security scans files, links, and chats across SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams in real time. palmiq runs it as a managed service.

What Is Collaboration Security?

Work moved from email to Teams chats, SharePoint sites, and OneDrive shares — and attackers followed. A malicious file dropped in a Teams channel spreads faster than any email attachment, because everything inside the tenant is implicitly trusted. Acronis Collaboration Security scans files, links, and chats across SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams in real time with AI-powered analysis, blocking malware, phishing, and data exposure before they propagate.

Why It Matters

  • The Trusted-Channel Problem

    Users who hesitate at a strange email click anything shared in Teams. Real-time scanning restores the checkpoint that trust removed.

  • Beyond Microsoft's Built-Ins

    Acronis positions this directly against Microsoft Defender for Office 365: stronger detection of advanced and unknown attacks via CPU-level dynamic analysis (vs. sandboxing), near-real-time speed, single-click deployment, and 24/7 incident response included — without the SOC resources MDO assumes you have.

  • One Layer of a 7-in-1 Story

    Part of Acronis' complete Microsoft 365 protection: backup, email security, collaboration security, posture management, awareness training, archiving, and XDR — the full set palmiq can run from one console.

Common questions

Doesn't our antivirus catch files from Teams anyway?

Only after they land on an endpoint — by which point the file has been shared, synced, and opened elsewhere. Scanning inside the collaboration layer stops distribution at the source.

How does this relate to email security?

Same defense, different door. [Email Security](/partners/acronis/email-security) guards the inbox; Collaboration Security guards Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive. Attackers pick whichever door you left open — most organizations deploy both.

Will scanning slow down file sharing?

Analysis is near-real-time and cloud-side — users don't perceive it. That speed is a core Acronis differentiator versus sandbox-based tools.
