Teams-specific audit events capturing channel creation/deletion, membership changes, meeting recordings, file sharing in Teams, guest user additions, app installations, and messaging policy changes.
Forensic Value
Teams audit logs reveal collaboration-based attack vectors including unauthorized guest additions, malicious app installations, and data sharing through Teams channels. Guest user additions grant external parties access to internal resources. Teams app installations may introduce malicious bots or connectors. File sharing events in Teams channels supplement SharePoint/OneDrive audit data. Meeting recording access logs show who viewed recorded meetings containing sensitive information.
