Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security: Securing Your Business in the Cloud-first, Mobile-first Era

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, enterprises are constantly seeking out innovative ways to secure their networks, devices, and data. With the proliferation of mobile devices and cloud technologies, these organisations face unique security challenges that require equally creative solutions. Enter Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS), a comprehensive suite of security tools designed to safeguard your business from end to end.

Microsoft EMS is an identity-driven security solution offering a holistic approach to the challenges that businesses encounter; providing not only protection for the organisation but also actively identifying breaches to mitigate potential damage.

Let’s explore the key features of Microsoft EMS and its two available offerings: Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 and Enterprise Mobility + Security E5.

Key Features of Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security

Microsoft EMS provides a wide range of capabilities to ensure your organisation remains secure in the face of ever-evolving threats. Let’s delve into some of the key features:

  • Azure Active Directory Premium
    Azure Active Directory (AD) Premium grants your organisation access to a powerful cloud-based identity and access management solution. It offers single sign-on (SSO) for thousands of cloud applications and improves collaboration with self-service capabilities, so your users can easily reset passwords and manage group memberships. Additionally, it provides advanced security features such as multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and risk-based policies.
  • Microsoft Intune
    Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based management solution that helps you maintain control over mobile devices, apps, and data. This ensures that your workforce remains productive on any device while maintaining a consistent security posture. Intune provides device management, mobile application management, and data protection for a wide range of devices, including iOS, Android, and Windows.
  • Azure Information Protection
    Azure Information Protection (AIP) gives you the tools to classify, label, and protect sensitive information based on configurable policies. AIP includes encryption, identity-based access control, and secure collaboration capabilities to protect your sensitive data effectively. With AIP, you can control who can access your information, track its usage, and prevent unauthorised sharing.
  • Advanced Threat Analytics
    Microsoft Advanced Threat Analytics (ATA) is an on-premises security solution that monitors and identifies any malicious activity or anomalous behavior on your networks.
