Imagine you are a librarian in charge of a large library. You have a special section where only books that have been reviewed and approved by trusted critics are displayed. These books are like the certified or publisher-attested apps and agents in Microsoft Teams. You know these books are reliable because they have been vetted by experts.

Now, imagine you want to expand your library to include more books that haven't been reviewed by those specific critics but might still be valuable. To ensure these new books are safe and appropriate for your library, you start using a new tool that helps you quickly check their content and background. This tool is like Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps. It provides you with important information about these new books, allowing you to decide if they meet your library's standards.

In the same way, IT admins can now see security and compliance information for a wider range of apps and agents in Microsoft Teams. This helps them decide if these apps and agents are safe and suitable for their organization, even if they haven't been officially certified or attested. This process is like expanding your library's collection while still maintaining trust and quality.
