Deploy and protect endpoints for hybrid work environments

The workplace is evolving and requires an innovative approach for endpoint modernization. Microsoft is bridging employee experiences and security with modernized endpoints that enable organizations to adapt to today’s new world of work in a secure way across a range of key business scenarios.

Building security into apps and devices help reduce the threat of endpoint vulnerability for workers on the frontline, remote workers, in-office employees, and everything in between. Modernizing endpoints help advance to Zero Trust.

The new normal: Hybrid work means greater focus on endpoint security

Whether it’s a hybrid, remote, or in-office experience, endpoint vulnerabilities represent a real security risk. Companies must secure any potential access to their internal network from hacking and cyberattacks—which are more prevalent than ever.

How can organizations modernize to protect themselves against these threats?

Using Zero Trust within the context of Azure Active Directory as a foundation, anything connecting to your network must be validated before gaining access. And even when vetted, it will operate in a separate virtual machine to keep the rest of the network secure.

Microsoft Edge as default browser for access to legacy web apps and better security

Moving 130,000 workers across 200 worksites in over 90 countries to a new browser is no simple feat. Just think of the challenge ensuring that legacy apps and sites built for local business still work.

To facilitate device management, GlaxoSmithKline enrolled every Windows 10 device in Microsoft Endpoint Manager, making available Microsoft Edge on their internal store for end users to install on-demand. Deployment only took four weeks, and it was so simple that no external services or support were needed.

Strengthening connection with remote communities with Windows 365

The coordination of moving employees around to better serve the people in remote areas of Nunavut, Canada, and provisioning hardware for remote, nontechnical staff was challenging for IT—even before the challenges of Covid-19. Now, with Windows 365, Nunavut deploys virtual endpoints to an employee’s device using Microsoft Endpoint Manager. As a result, the government can support both organization owned and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) models, and it can get users up and running with personalized, highly secure cloud PC service.

Transition to Cloud: Secure your business with technology you can trust

The global shift to virtual business has created a new world of opportunities, but it has also introduced new challenges—and we know that digital transformation is essential for organizations to succeed. Need proof? This infographic illustrates how organizations further along in their transition from on-prem to the cloud are more likely to report positive experiences among employees and end users about securing data and personal privacy. With Microsoft 365, businesses stay nimble with cost savings and cloud advances, even during uncertain economic times.
