You Should Know:

1. Microsoft Defender EDR Sensor

Windows 365 Link integrates Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (EDR) for advanced threat detection.
– Check EDR status:

Get-MpComputerStatus | Select-Object AMRunningMode, AntivirusEnabled

2. Hypervisor Code Integrity (HVCI)

HVCI ensures only trusted drivers and kernel-mode code execute.
– Verify HVCI status:

Confirm-SecureBootUEFI 

3. BitLocker Drive Encryption

  • Check BitLocker status:
    Manage-bde -status 
    

4. Secure Boot & TPM (Trusted Platform Module)

Secure Boot prevents unauthorized firmware/OS modifications.

  • Check TPM status:
    Get-Tpm 
    

5. Zero Trust Deployment via Intune

Deploy and manage Cloud PCs securely via Microsoft Intune.
– Enroll device in Intune:

Install-Script -Name Get-WindowsAutopilotInfo -Force 
Get-WindowsAutopilotInfo -OutputFile Autopilot.csv

Access your Cloud PC securely from anywhere.

  • Enable Conditional Access:
    Connect-AzureAD 
    New-AzureADMSConditionalAccessPolicy -DisplayName "Require MFA for Cloud PC" -State "Enabled" -Conditions $conditions -GrantControls $grantControls
