How can protect/prevent Cloud PCs from being attacker/hacked

Hi support team,

 

I just read the W365 article recently and get a license for test. This is the good concept and I really like it and want to bring into our environment. (We're using Microsoft Endpoint Manager to manage them)

 

I just wondering is possible to hack the Cloud PCs ? If possible, how can I prevent it ? I've tried to read as many as I can but there's no documentation about security concerns related to Cloud PCs. Because this is the new service or it's impossible to hack the Cloud PCs ?

 

Thanks !!!

    Check the new updated Security Guidelines here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-365/enterprise/security

    MFA and Compliance enforcement through Conditional Access and you can also configure security related settings in MEM which would increase the security even more. One starting point for the MDM-related security settings is the Windows 365 Security Baseline: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-365/enterprise/deploy-security-baselines

    https://threatlocker.com offers a great solution for zero-trust and zero-day threats. It will not allow anything to run without approval. Worth taking a look at...

    A Cloud PC is like a regular PC and needs the same layered protection (Network, Endpoint, MFA and Conditional Access) like a regular PC
    Regular patching and updates help a lot. (Enabling Autopatch would be good too)

    Both software and hardware can be hacked.
    However, Defense-in-Depth helps in making it hard and helps in detecting and responding before a full compromise.
