As organizations continue to modernize work, the Windows desktop is no longer limited to a physical device. With Windows 365, the PC becomes a secure, personalized Cloud PC streamed from Microsoft Cloud to users across devices and locations. But moving desktops to the cloud also changes how security teams must think about access, identity, endpoint protection, data exposure, policy enforcement, and operational control.

In this session, we’ll explore Windows 365 through a cloud security lens: how to securely deploy, manage, and protect Cloud PCs while enabling flexible work. We’ll discuss how Windows 365 can help organizations reduce risk by centralizing the Windows experience in the cloud, enforcing identity-based access, applying security baselines, integrating with Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Defender, and supporting Zero Trust principles.

You’ll learn how Cloud PCs fit into a secure modern workplace strategy, what security considerations matter before deployment, and how IT and security teams can build a roadmap for managing Windows desktops as cloud-hosted enterprise assets. We’ll also cover practical deployment steps, user access patterns, policy considerations, and a demo of how Windows 365 enables secure access to a full Windows environment from virtually any device.

Whether you are evaluating Windows 365 or already planning Cloud PC adoption, this session will help you understand how to approach Windows in the Cloud with security, governance, and operational readiness in mind.
