My very first challenge – which was in my modest opinion the hardest part – with Enterprise Data Protection (EDP) was defining protected applications in a correct way. Many of you including myself were struggling how to define restricted applications.

Blog series: Protect your Company Data using Enterprise Data Protection (EDP)

Recently I had the chance during a technical Friday jam session to play around with Enterprise Data Protection (EDP) with some other geeks .

EDP

In short Enterprise data protection (EDP) helps to protect against potential data loss without interfering end-user experience. EDP also helps to protect enterprise apps & data against accidental data loss on enterprise-owned devices, including personal devices that end-users bring to work without requiring changes to your environment or other apps.

Although EDP is introduced with Windows 10 release, the underlying technologies are common known. EDP is primary relying on Encrypted File System (EFS) and AppLocker. In a serie blog posts I will provid some guidance how EDP works and how to configure protected apps, Configuration Manager and Microsoft Intune.

Note!

Enterprise data protection is currently being tested with a number of enterprise customers, and will become available to Windows Insiders soon.

Stay tuned!

As all roads lead to Rome there are many ways to assign Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS) licenses to end-users. This can be a manual process or automated by using PowerShell. Both options have in common that you must be a global administrator of your Azure subscription to assign these licenses.

The majority of the available public resources and publications describes the (manual) process bassed on per user- or group assignment through the Azure Management Portal. Downside of assigning EMS licenses through the Azure Management Portal or by PowerShell is that you must be a member of the global administrator user role. A right you want to keep to a limited number of accounts, further these accounts are often not responsible for such tasks as assigning licenses.

I’m very excited having the opportunity to meet the product teams on Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS) during a 4-day stay in Redmond (WA) next week! As my employer Inovativ is participating in the Red Carpet Program we’re invited to join the Enterprise Mobility airlift. An airlift is an event which outlines new features being released in a new wave/product release. This airlift includes deep dive sessions on Azure AD Premium, Microsoft Intune and Azure RMS. As Microsoft Partner we’ll be lined up with the latest technology and have the chance to discuss and provide feedback on the components involved with the Enterprise Mobility Suite.

Further I’m looking foward to meet some community friends in person like Mr. ‘IoT’ and ‘Enterprise Mobility’ Rob Tiffany. I let me assure that the coffee is ready at Satya’s office ;-)

So I challenge you to collect your best feedback and questions on Azure AD Premium, Microsoft Intune, Azure Rights Management and bring it on, I’ll forward them to the PG’s! You can drop me a line by Twitter, Facebook or by e-mail
