In terms of security and compliance, Microsoft plans to introduce information barriers to prevent certain groups from communicating, and Data Loss Prevention for Teams chats and channels.
Finally, there will be improvements in Teams management, with a new Teams Advisor for better planning and deployment. Microsoft EndPoint Manager will also integrate with Teams for device management.
