USE CASE 1:  Microsoft Security Solutions

The management of the various devices that access the organization’s resources is a problem for SADC as they make their transition to supporting a hybrid and remote workforce.

Its staff members must be able to collaborate, work remotely, and securely connect to the company’s resources. In order to safeguard organizational data, control end-user access, and support users wherever they are at work, security is also crucial.

SADC contacted Signal Alliance Consulting and we moved to deploy Microsoft Intune for SADC. With Microsoft Intune, we were able to protect data on managed devices (enrolled in Intune) and protect data on unmanaged devices (not enrolled in Intune).

Intune can isolate organizational data from personal data. The idea is to protect SADC’s information by controlling the way users access and share information.

For organization-owned devices :
 SADC got full security control access, over the devices. When devices enroll, they receive security rules and settings.

On devices enrolled in Intune, Signal Alliance Consulting was able to:

• Create and deploy policies configuring security settings, setting password requirements, and deploying certificates.
• Use mobile threat defense services to scan devices, detect threats, and remediate threats.
• View data and reports that measure compliance with your security settings and rules.
• Use conditional access to only allow managed and compliant devices access to organization resources, apps, and data.
• Remove organization data if a device is lost or stolen.

For personal devices
Users might not want SADC’s administrator to have full control and access to their work devices. To support the hybrid work environment, we give users options. For example, users enroll their devices if they want full access to SADC’s resources.

On devices using application management, Signal Alliance Consulting was able to:

• Use mobile threat defense services to protect app data by scanning devices, detecting threats, and assessing risk.
• Prevent the organization’s data from being copied and pasted into personal apps.
• Use app protection policies on apps and on unmanaged devices enrolled in a third-party or partner MDM.
• Use conditional access to restrict the apps that can access organization email and files.
• Remove organization data within apps.

USE CASE 2

Signal Alliance Consulting deployed Microsoft Defender for Cloud for Optimus Bank. With Microsoft Defender for Cloud, we got recommendations on identifying the steps that were taken to secure Optimus Bank’s hybrid environment, Summarized Optimus Bank’s security posture based on the security recommendations – As we remediate recommendations, the secure score improved.

Additionally, Microsoft Defender for Cloud provides Cloud Workload Protections (CWP), which surface workload-specific suggestions that direct users to the best security measures for securing all Optimus Bank workloads, including servers, databases, storage resources, containers, and infrastructure insight.
