Workplace Ninja Summit 2024: Full Schedule

13:15 CEST

Endpoint Analytics and Advanced Analytics

Monday September 16, 2024 13:15 - 14:15 CEST

Endpoint analytics is a built-in and free Microsoft Intune feature that provides organizations with meaningful metrics and insights for measuring the quality of the end-user experience from Windows devices. In the session we will cover how easily you can implement it and what information it will provide you. Also, you’ll learn how to use the data in your own solutions.

Advanced Analytics, which requires an additional license, enhances Endpoint analytics by providing the following key features:
- Anomaly detection: discovers workstation issues that easily are unnoticed and provides information about the common characteristics from the problem devices. One example would be devices which have bluescreens and what might be the real reason behind the issue (like a specific driver).
- Enhanced device timeline provides key information about major operations on a specific device. Especially useful while diagnosing issues when you know what has happened on a device.
- Device query allows you to run KQL queries against a device in real time to see what the current state is.

The session covers the latest updates of both services and gives you real-life examples how you can benefit from Endpoint analytics and/or Advanced Analytics.

Identity is the most critical aspect of security. Ensuring that users are who they claim to be is vital. Today, usernames and passwords alone are insufficient. Although Multifactor Authentication (MFA) mitigates some risks associated with standard credentials, digital certificates are a better choice. Organizations can improve their security posture by adopting strong, phishing-resistant credentials in digital certificates by implementing Microsoft Entra Certificate-Based Authentication (CBA).
