OISE Windows 11 Upgrade Project
As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance security, we are upgrading all Windows devices to Windows 11. This transition will bring several cybersecurity benefits, ensuring our devices and data remain secure.
Cybersecurity Benefits of Upgrading to Windows 11
Enhanced Data Protection
- BitLocker Encryption: Windows 11 leverages BitLocker to encrypt your entire disk, safeguarding your data from unauthorized access, especially if your device is lost or stolen.
- Operating System Updates: Upgrading ensures your device receives the latest Windows 11 security patches and updates, keeping it compliant with the university's security standards and protected against emerging threats.
Robust Threat Prevention
- Microsoft Defender Antivirus: Windows 11 comes with an integrated and enhanced Microsoft Defender Antivirus. This ensures your device is running the latest antivirus protection in alignment with university protocols, actively preventing malware and other malicious software.
- SmartScreen: This feature helps protect you from phishing attacks and malicious websites and applications, reducing the risk of accidental malware downloads.
Centralized Monitoring and Management
- Compliance Monitoring: Our systems will provide real-time monitoring of your device's security status and compliance with university policies.
- Unified Management: Upgrading to Windows 11 allows for unified management of all PC devices from a single platform. This simplifies IT operations and helps us ensure your device remains secure, even if it's lost or stolen.
- Upgrading to Windows 11 is a crucial step in maintaining a secure and compliant computing environment for our university.
