Summary

In this chapter, we covered the key considerations for deciding which types of devices can be used by your users, along with the risks and benefits of each option. Whether you decide to enforce MDM to manage external devices or you choose to opt for an MAM-only option, there are plenty of choices for securing access to resources and preventing the unauthorized distribution of sensitive data, while enabling collaboration between internal and external teams.

In the next chapter we will explore the new hardware and software based security options that are available in Windows 10 to further protect your information, credentials, and other assets.
