Safe and simple: Microsoft 365 Business Premium to secure your Windows 10/11 computers

Now, more than ever, we’ve found ourselves in the need to rearrange our lives in an unprecedented context. Technology has been there to have our backs. Security practices, as a prevention dynamic, can help you, and your organization reduce the vulnerability frame that is a constant challenge, when there's a frequent usage of electronic resources.

The sensitivity of the data you store in your devices, for personal or professional use, should never be undermined.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium is a comprehensive solution that enhances productivity and safeguards the digital environment of small and medium-sized enterprises. Specifically tailored for businesses with 1-300 employees, it offers an array of cloud-based tools and security measures. With Microsoft 365 Business Premium, you can:

Empower your workforce connectivity and productivity, whether on-site or remote, using top collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams.
Ensure secure access to business data and apps, limiting access to authorized personnel for confidentiality.
Safeguard your business data against cyberthreats, including phishing, ransomware, and data loss, with advanced protection.
Manage and secure devices (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android) connecting to your data, ensuring their up-to-date status.

It is very easy to protect your organization’s devices. To support you in achieving this, here is a comprehensive list of Microsoft 365 Business Premium's security capabilities.

2. Microsoft Intune

Enrolling mobile devices without a strong and reliable system can expose and compromise your organization’s data, leaving it exposed to many kinds of cyberattacks.

4. Windows 10/11 Business

Having a Microsoft 365 Business Premium subscription grants you the ability to upgrade your Windows devices, which are currently operating on Windows 7 Pro, Windows 8 Pro, or Windows 8.1 Pro, to either Windows 10 or 11 Pro.

Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) for real-time threat detection and response.
Regular security updates from Microsoft.
Compatibility with modern security solutions.

5. Shared Computer Activation

Shared computer activation allows for the deployment of Microsoft 365 Apps on a computer that is used by multiple users within an organization. This feature supports various scenarios, such as:

Multiple workers at a factory sharing a single computer and each using Office during their shift.
Nurses at a hospital using Office on different computers throughout the day.
Employees remotely connecting to a computer to run Office simultaneously.
Multiple employees utilizing Microsoft 365 on a computer located in a public space like a conference room.
Multiple users accessing an instance of Microsoft 365 hosted through Remote Desktop Services (RDS).

Normally, Microsoft 365 Business Premium Apps can only be installed and activated on a limited number of devices, typically 5 PCs. However, when shared computer activation is enabled, using Microsoft 365 Apps on a shared computer does not count towards this limit.
