There is no denying that virtual workspaces have become the norm. Along with businesses moving their data and operations online, it is no surprise that companies face more security threats than ever.  

The benefits of working remotely are endless for both employees and employers, but you might find yourself in a vulnerable position and exposed to more security threats than when only one office location and server were used.   

If this is the case for your organisation, and you’re fairly new to understanding the level of increased cyber security that’s needed, let Boldfield help take advantage of the latest EMS software to secure your business operations.

What is Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security?

The Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) Suite is a set of tools providing your organisation with everything you need to secure devices and data that are used by any employee in your enterprise.  

Nobody can deny the benefits that remote work affords from cost savings to enabling employees to answer emails from their cellphones and collaborate on work documents from their personal tablets. But investing in EMS is important and failure to do so could cost your business dearly.  

With the Microsoft EMS Suite, you’re able to retain control and ensure the safety and security of your company data, even when employees are using their personal devices. Reduce the risks of security breaches and leaks that might lead to downtime and less productivity because you don’t have the correct systems in place. 

Our experts at Boldfield have helped many businesses deploy Microsoft EMS seamlessly to secure their online assets. We work alongside businesses to keep your team operating at full capacity, eliminating any security threats that can impact business productivity. 

What are the Main Features of Microsoft Enterprise, Mobility +Security?

Identity and Access Management 

Microsoft EMS provides each employee with a single user account that is accessible on each of their devices. This gives users the ability to navigate between devices effortlessly as well as take advantage of the thousands of integrations with SaaS apps available, like Skype, Teams, OneNote and Dropbox to boost productivity and efficiency. If the time comes and a user needs to be removed or added to the EMS system, this can be done easily, without compromising the integrity of your business data. 

 

Mobility 

As convenient as it is for users to access organisational data from their personal devices without putting any data at risk, it also affords businesses the ability to remove all organisational data from a device, without removing personal data. You always have control over your data and what users are able to access. 

 

Information Protection 

Moving your workforce to an online space can be daunting, especially when you fear sensitive data being leaked, whether by mistake or on purpose. As part of the Microsoft Enterprise offering, Azure Information Protection ensures that sensitive data can be encrypted whether it is on email, your file server or SharePoint. Access to a document can be logged and monitored and revoked even after a user has had access to the document. Data protection doesn’t get any more secure than that. 

 

Identity-Driven Security 

As cyber security measures evolve to protect, so do hackers and their techniques. In the rare case that passwords might be compromised, EMS provides the option for multi-factor authentication that can be enabled as a physical layer of defence to safeguard against stolen passwords and any access attempts as a result thereof. 

With enhanced login security, any suspicious login attempts can be blocked and user access revoked quickly and easily.
