Enhancing Security by Limiting Remote Control to Managed Devices

Controlling Remote Access in Enterprises

Remote collaboration tools have transformed how teams work, but controlling access remains a critical challenge. Now, enterprises and organizations have a new capability allowing them to restrict which devices can host remotely controlled Copilot sessions.

Fine-Grained Device Restrictions

This feature grants administrators fine-grained control over device eligibility, ensuring that only authorized, managed devices can initiate or host remote control sessions. It helps reduce security risks associated with unmanaged endpoints.

Strengthening Remote Work Security

By limiting remote control capabilities to trusted devices, organizations can better protect sensitive data and maintain compliance with corporate IT policies. This enhancement supports a safer and more reliable remote work environment.
