Microsoft is making it easier for IT admins to configure baseline security settings for Windows 10 business users.
The company has introduced a new, 'streamlined' setup experience that allows admins to apply security settings on an organization-wide scale via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
"Applying security policies to the computers in your organization is a foundational security practice. It's especially important now that more employees are using these devices away from the office," said Microsoft.
"To make it easier for you to protect your organization's devices, we've added a new setup experience to the Microsoft 365 admin center that allows you to establish a security baseline for all of the Windows 10 PCs in your organization in just a few clicks."
In the Sign-up and Security section, find Secure your Windows 10 computers, and hit the View button.
