Deploy and protect endpoints for hybrid work environments

The workplace is evolving and requires an innovative approach for endpoint modernization. Microsoft is bridging employee experiences and security with modernized endpoints that enable organizations to adapt to today's new world of work in a secure way across a range of key business scenarios. Building security into apps and devices help reduce the threat of endpoint vulnerability for workers on the frontline, remote workers, in-office employees, and everything in between. Modernizing endpoints help advance to Zero Trust.

And even when vetted, it will operate in a separate virtual machine to keep the rest of the network secure.
