  Microsoft has expanded our multi-cloud security configurations to provide security recommendations for Google Cloud Platform, based on the GCP CIS benchmark.

  Microsoft has expanded their session controls to detect potential malware using Microsoft Threat Intelligence upon file uploads or downloads. The new detection is now generally available out-of-the-box and can be configured to automatically block files identified as potential malware. For more information, see Block malware on upload.
