Office 365 to Prevent Malicious Docs From Infecting Windows

Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus is getting a new feature called Application Guard that will allow users to open attachments in a virtualized container to protect Windows from malicious macros and exploits. The feature is currently in limited preview and will become generally available in the summer of 2020. Users will be able to print, edit, and save changes, but this sandboxed environment will prevent malicious macros from installing malware, exploiting vulnerabilities, or executing PowerShell or JavaScript commands that can affect your normal Windows environment. Microsoft Edge for Windows 10 includes a feature called Windows Defender Application Guard.
