How does Windows 365 ensure data security?

Windows 365 ensures data security through a comprehensive set of measures designed to protect corporate data from unauthorized access, theft, or misuse. Here are some key aspects of how Windows 365 handles data security:

- Zero Trust Security Model: Windows 365 is built with a Zero Trust security model, which means that no one is trusted by default, whether inside or outside the network. This model includes verifying the identity of users, securing endpoints, and protecting data.

• Conditional Access Policies: Windows 365 uses Microsoft Entra Conditional Access policies to control access to Cloud PCs. These policies ensure that only authorized users and devices can access corporate resources.
• Microsoft Defender for Endpoint: Windows 365 integrates with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to provide advanced threat protection. This includes identifying and responding to threats, setting devices as non-compliant, and applying device compliance policies.
• Data Encryption: All data in Windows 365 is encrypted both at rest and in transit. This ensures that data is protected from unauthorized access during storage and transmission.
• Virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM): Windows 365 Cloud PCs have a virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM) enabled by default. vTPM acts as a secure vault for keys and measurements, enhancing the security of Cloud PCs.
• Secure Boot: Secure Boot is enabled by default on Windows 365 Cloud PCs. This feature prevents the operating system from booting if untrusted rootkits or boot kits are installed, ensuring the integrity of the system.
• Compliance and Monitoring: Windows 365 integrates with Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Purview to provide compliance monitoring and data loss prevention (DLP). These tools help ensure that data is used and protected properly, and prevent risky behavior that might compromise data security.
• Regular Updates: Windows 365 ensures that Cloud PCs receive regular security updates and patches. This helps protect against vulnerabilities and ensures that devices stay up-to-date with the latest security features
