In the modern business landscape, it can seem difficult to know which technologies are the best to enable your company to prosper. However, Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security (EM+S) is one of the most essential suites for any modern business.
With its many security features and included tools, EM+S is one of the best packages to be able to help secure your business in the day-to-day aspects of your institution. Its seamless integrations with Microsoft Windows means that EM+S is a must-have tool for any organisation.
In this article, we’re going to go over the ins and outs of Microsoft EM+S for your company. We’ll also take a look at how you can implement EM+S and its key features and benefits.
Microsoft Enterprise Mobile + Security (EM+S) is a suite of tools that consists of five different software tools —
All five of these tools are great for any company, as they protect organisations from any security breaches and malicious forces that want to possibly gain access to secure and sensitive files and data for any number of means.
This means that with EM+S, you’re getting four high-quality tools that all work well together in a package. Furthermore, each of these tools is built to work seamlessly with the Azure and Windows platforms. So, if you’re already using an infrastructure based on Azure or Windows — EM+S might be even more essential for you.
As stated previously, Azure Active Directory is an identity management tool that uses single-sign-on (SSO) to secure your institution. Instead of having to remember a password for each different application that your organisation uses — and therefore an additional breach point — SSO means that you can use one login portal to access all the tools that you need.
Plus, you can use AD to enable the use of other identification factors throughout your company (such as biometrics or a one-time code). With this, you eliminate the need of using passwords — a less secure factor of authentication than biometrics or multi-device authentication.
With Azure Rights Management, you can easily make sure that only those who are authorised to access sensitive data can access it. Using Azure RM, you can block people based on their viewing location, date, identification, employment status, and much more.
This eliminates the risk of data getting into the hands of unauthorised individuals and reduces that vulnerability when working outside of the premises — as is usually the case for remote workers.
The protection of information and data is crucial for any institution. EM+S helps keep your data secure with its ability to limit unauthorised access to your data and its access controls for your files.
Using its labelling and classification capabilities, Azure Information Protection helps you keep your organisation safe from any breaches by letting you classify your data so it’s protected from certain parameters.
All of the tools included allow you to take an ‘identity-driven’ security approach, with Microsoft Advanced Threat Analytics. This tool analyses access by users to raise the alarm when something looks suspicious.
Microsoft Enterprise M+S is a great tool for any business’s arsenal. Instead of having to micromanage IT and security throughout your whole organisation, M+S gives you security tools to empower your company’s security posture. The five tools included are some of the best security tools Microsoft has available, and are essential for any modern business — let alone those already running on Microsoft services.
