Security News > 2023 > November > Microsoft Ignite: New Solutions Offer More Security and Productivity from Windows in the Cloud

Cloud PCs give you access to Windows AI tools on any device, and Windows 365 now has AI-powered tools to help IT give users the right cloud PC for their needs.

Microsoft is adding more AI tools to Windows, including Copilot on Windows 11, and giving developers more tools to create AI features of their own for Windows.

With Microsoft 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop, you can use those Windows AI features on any device, and that gets simpler with new unified clients for Android, iOS, Mac and browsers as well as Windows itself.

"We see Windows 365 really at the heart of that: being able to give access to AI to more people and on more devices when you're accessing windows through the cloud. Customers can be confident in deploying AI within their organisation in a way that's secure, in a way that empowers all of their employees to work more efficiently, to have more time for creativity and to really adopt this new way of working while still giving them the flexibility to work where they want to work, on different devices, in different ways that suit their needs."

Figure A. The Windows App client also supports new security features like single-sign on and passwordless authentication, including biometrics and FIDO security keys, watermarking, tamper protection and screen capture blocking.

If you need more security, you'll soon be able to join the public preview for using your own encryption keys with Windows 365 Customer Managed Keys, while the Windows 365 Customer Lockbox, which gives organizations the same approval options for working with Microsoft support engineers they already have in Office 365, is already in public preview.
