A fundamental assumption about information security is that a system can identify who’s using it. In identifying a user, the system can decide whether the user has identified himself or herself appropriately (a process known as authentication), and then determine what that properly authenticated user should be able to do (a process known as authorization). The overwhelming majority of computer systems deployed throughout the world depend on user credentials as a means of making authentication and authorization decisions, and that means that these systems depend on reusable, user-created passwords for their security. The oft-cited maxim that authentication can involve “something you know, something you have, or something you are” neatly highlights the issue: a reusable password is an authentication factor all by itself, so anyone who knows the password can impersonate the user who owns it. diff --git a/windows/keep-secure/protect-enterprise-data-using-wip.md b/windows/keep-secure/protect-enterprise-data-using-wip.md index e97e4432da..235a704411 100644 --- a/windows/keep-secure/protect-enterprise-data-using-wip.md +++ b/windows/keep-secure/protect-enterprise-data-using-wip.md @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ title: Protect your enterprise data using Windows Information Protection (WIP) (Windows 10) description: With the increase of employee-owned devices in the enterprise, there’s also an increasing risk of accidental data leak through apps and services, like email, social media, and the public cloud, which are outside of the enterprise’s control. ms.assetid: 6cca0119-5954-4757-b2bc-e0ea4d2c7032 -keywords: WIP, Windows Information Protection, EDP, Enterprise Data Protection +keywords: WIP, Windows Information Protection, EDP, Enterprise Data Protection, DLP, data loss prevention, data leakage protection ms.prod: w10 ms.mktglfcycl: explore ms.sitesec: library @@ -16,6 +16,7 @@ localizationpriority: high - Windows 10, version 1607 - Windows 10 Mobile +>Learn more about what features and functionality are supported in each Windows edition at [Compare Windows 10 Editions](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/Compare).

If your 3rd party MDM does not have UI support for the policies, refer to the [EnterpriseDataProtection CSP](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/mt697634.aspx) documentation.| +## What is enterprise data control? +Effective collaboration means that you need to share data with others in your enterprise. This sharing can be from one extreme where everyone has access to everything without any security, all the way to the other extreme where people can’t share anything and it’s all highly secured. Most enterprises fall somewhere in between the two extremes, where success is balanced between providing the necessary access with the potential for improper data disclosure. + +As an admin, you can address the question of who gets access to your data by using access controls, such as employee credentials. However, just because someone has the right to access your data doesn’t guarantee that the data will remain within the secured locations of the enterprise. This means that while access controls are a great start, they’re not enough. + +In the end, all of these security measures have one thing in common: employees will tolerate only so much inconvenience before looking for ways around the security restrictions. For example, if you don’t allow employees to share files through a protected system, employees will turn to an outside app that more than likely lacks security controls. + +### Using data loss prevention systems +To help address this security insufficiency, company’s developed data loss prevention (also known as DLP) systems. Data loss prevention systems require: +- **A set of rules about how the system can identify and categorize the data that needs to be protected.** For example, a rule set might contain a rule that identifies credit card numbers and another rule that identifies Social Security numbers. + +- **A way to scan company data to see whether it matches any of your defined rules.** Currently, Microsoft Exchange Server and Exchange Online provide this service for email in transit, while Microsoft SharePoint and SharePoint Online provide this service for content stored in document libraries. + +- **The ability to specify what happens when data matches a rule, including whether employees can bypass enforcement.** For example, in Microsoft SharePoint and SharePoint Online, the Microsoft data loss prevention system lets you warn your employees that shared data includes sensitive info, and to share it anyway (with an optional audit log entry). + +Unfortunately, data loss prevention systems have their own problems. For example, the more detailed the rule set, the more false positives are created, leading employees to believe that the rules slow down their work and need to be bypassed in order to remain productive, potentially leading to data being incorrectly blocked or improperly released. Another major problem is that data loss prevention systems must be widely implemented to be effective. For example, if your company uses a data loss prevention system for email, but not for file shares or document storage, you might find that your data leaks through the unprotected channels. But perhaps the biggest problem with data loss preventions systems is that it provides a jarring experience that interrupts the employees’ natural workflow by blocking some operations (such as sending a message with an attachment that the system tags as sensitive) while allowing others, often according to subtle rules that the employee doesn’t see and can’t understand. + +### Using information rights management systems +To help address the potential data loss prevention system problems, company’s developed information rights management (also known as IRM) systems. Information rights management systems embed protection directly into documents, so that when an employee creates a document, he or she determines what kind of protection to apply. For example, an employee can choose to stop the document from being forwarded, printed, shared outside of the organization, and so on. + +After the type of protection is set, the creating app encrypts the document so that only authorized people can open it, and even then, only in compatible apps. After an employee opens the document, the app becomes responsible for enforcing the specified protections. Because protection travels with the document, if an authorized person sends it to an unauthorized person, the unauthorized person won’t be able to read or change it. However, for this to work effectively information rights management systems require you to deploy and set up both a server and client environment. And, because only compatible clients can work with protected documents, an employees’ work might be unexpectedly interrupted if he or she attempts to use a non-compatible app. + +### And what about when an employee leaves the company or unenrolls a device? +Finally, there’s the risk of data leaking from your company when an employee leaves or unenrolls a device.

Apps included on this list don’t have to be modified to open corporate data because their presence on the list allows Windows to determine whether to grant them access. However, new for Windows 10, app developers can use a new set of application programming interfaces (APIs) to create *enlightened* apps that can use and edit both enterprise and personal data. A huge benefit to working with enlightened apps is that dual-use apps, like Microsoft Word, can be used with less concern about encrypting personal data by mistake because the APIs allow the app to determine whether data is owned by the enterprise or if it’s personally owned. + +You can set your WIP policy to use 1 of 4 protection and management modes: |Mode|Description| |----|-----------| |Block |WIP looks for inappropriate data sharing practices and stops the employee from completing the action.

    3. Try copying and pasting, dragging and dropping, and sharing using these apps with other apps that appear both on and off the allowed apps list.

      Note
      Most Windows-signed components like File Explorer (when running in the user’s context), should have access to enterprise data.

      A few notable exceptions include some of the user-facing in-box apps, like Wordpad, Notepad, and Microsoft Paint. These apps don't have access by default, but can be added to your allowed apps list.

    Use WIP on NTFS, FAT, and exFAT systems. +
      +
    1. Start an app that uses the FAT or exFAT file system (for example a SD card or USB flash drive), and appears on your allowed apps list.
      2. +
    2. Create, edit, write, save, copy, and move files.

    Verify your shared files can use WIP. +
      +
    1. Download a file from a protected file share, making sure the file is encrypted by locating the Briefcase icon next to the file name.
      2. +
    2. Open the same file, make a change, save it and then try to upload it back to the file share. Again, this should work without any warnings.
      3. +
    3. Open an app that doesn't appear on your allowed apps list and attempt to access a file on the WIP-enabled file share.
      The app shouldn't be able to access the file share.
      4. +
    +
    Verify your cloud resources can use WIP. +
      +
    1. Add both Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge to your allowed apps list.
      2. +
    2. Open SharePoint (or another cloud resource that's part of your policy) and access a WIP-enabled resource by using both IE11 and Microsoft Edge.
      Both browsers should respect the enterprise and personal boundary.
      3. +
    3. Remove Internet Explorer 11 from your allowed app list and then try to access an intranet site or enterprise-related cloud resource.
      IE11 shouldn't be able to access the sites.

      Note
      Any file downloaded from your work SharePoint site, or any other WIP-enabled cloud resource, is automatically marked as Work.

      4. +
    +
    Verify your Virtual Private Network (VPN) can be auto-triggered. +
      +
    1. Set up your VPN network to start based on the WIPModeID setting.
      For specific info about how to do this, see the [Create and deploy a VPN policy for Windows Information Protection (WIP) using Microsoft Intune](create-wip-policy-using-intune.md) topic.
      2. +
    2. Start an app from your allowed apps list.
      The VPN network should automatically start.
      3. +
    3. Disconnect from your network and then start an app that isn't on your allowed apps list.
      The VPN shouldn't start and the app shouldn't be able to access your enterprise network.
      4. +
    +
    Unenroll client devices from WIP. +
      +
    • Unenroll a device from WIP by going to Settings, click Accounts, click Work, click the name of the device you want to unenroll, and then click Remove.
      The device should be removed and all of the enterprise content for that managed account should be gone.

      Important
      On desktop devices, the data isn't removed and can be recovered, so you must make sure they content is marked as Revoked and that access is denied for the employee. On mobile devices, the data is removed.

For example, when an employee sends the latest engineering pictures from their personal email account, copies and pastes product info into a tweet, or saves an in-progress sales report to their public cloud storage. - -Windows Information Protection (WIP), formerly known as enterprise data protection (EDP), helps to protect against this potential data leakage without otherwise interfering with the employee experience. WIP also helps to protect enterprise apps and data against accidental data leak on enterprise-owned devices and personal devices that employees bring to work without requiring changes to your environment or other apps. - - -## Benefits of WIP - -WIP provides: -- Obvious separation between personal and corporate data, without requiring employees to switch environments or apps. - -- Additional data protection for existing line-of-business apps without a need to update the apps. - -- Ability to wipe corporate data from devices while leaving personal data alone. - -- Use of audit reports for tracking issues and remedial actions. - -- Integration with your existing management system (Microsoft Intune, System Center Configuration Manager 2016, or your current mobile device management (MDM) system) to configure, deploy, and manage WIP for your company. - -## Enterprise scenarios -WIP currently addresses these enterprise scenarios: -- You can encrypt enterprise data on employee-owned and corporate-owned devices. - -- You can remotely wipe enterprise data off managed computers, including employee-owned computers, without affecting the personal data. - -- You can select specific apps that can access enterprise data, called "allowed apps" that are clearly recognizable to employees. You can also block non-protected apps from accessing enterprise data. - -- Your employees won't have their work otherwise interrupted while switching between personal and enterprise apps while the enterprise policies are in place. Switching environments or signing in multiple times isn’t required. - -## Why use WIP? -WIP gives you a new way to manage data policy enforcement for apps and documents, along with the ability to remove access to enterprise data from both enterprise and personal devices (after enrollment in an enterprise management solution, like Intune). - -- **Change the way you think about data policy enforcement.** As an enterprise admin, you need to maintain compliance in your data policy and data access. WIP helps make sure that your enterprise data is protected on both corporate and employee-owned devices, even when the employee isn’t using the device. When employees create content on an enterprise-protected device, they can choose to save it as a work document. If it's a work document, it becomes locally-maintained as enterprise data. - -- **Manage your enterprise documents, apps, and encryption modes.** - - - **Copying or downloading enterprise data.** When an employee or an app downloads content from a location like SharePoint, a network share, or an enterprise web location, while using an WIP-protected device, WIP encrypts the data on the device. - - - **Using allowed apps.** Managed apps (apps that you've included on the allowed apps list in your WIP policy) are allowed to access your enterprise data and will interact differently when used with unallowed, non-enterprise aware, or personal-only apps. For example, if WIP management is set to **Block**, your employees can copy and paste from one protected app to another protected app, but not to personal apps. Imagine an HR person wants to copy a job description from a protected app to the internal career website, an enterprise-protected location, but goofs and tries to paste into a personal app instead. The paste action fails and a notification pops up, saying that the app couldn’t paste because of a policy restriction. The HR person then correctly pastes to the career website without a problem. - - - **Managed apps and restrictions.** With WIP you can control which apps can access and use your enterprise data. After adding an app to your protected apps list, the app is trusted with enterprise data. All apps not on this list are blocked from accessing your enterprise data, depending on your WIP management-mode. - - You don’t have to modify line-of-business apps that never touch personal data to list them as protected apps; just include them in your protected apps list. - - - **Deciding your level of data access.** WIP lets you block, allow overrides, or audit employees' data sharing actions. Blocking the action stops it immediately. Allowing overrides let the employee know there's a risk, but lets him or her continue to share the data while recording and auditing the action. Silent just logs the action without blocking anything that the employee could've overridden while using that setting; collecting info that can help you to see patterns of inappropriate sharing so you can take educative action or find apps that should be added to your protected apps list. - - - **Data encryption at rest.** WIP helps protect enterprise data on local files and on removable media. - - Apps such as Microsoft Word work with WIP to help continue your data protection across local files and removable media. These apps are being referred to as, enterprise aware. For example, if an employee opens WIP-encrypted content from Word, edits the content, and then tries to save the edited version with a different name, Word automatically applies WIP to the new document. - - - **Helping prevent accidental data disclosure to public spaces.** WIP helps protect your enterprise data from being accidentally shared to public spaces, such as public cloud storage. For example, if Dropbox™ isn’t on your protected apps list, employees won’t be able to sync encrypted files to their personal cloud storage. Instead, if the employee stores the content to an app on your protected apps list, like Microsoft OneDrive for Business, the encrypted files can sync freely to the business cloud, while maintaining the encryption locally. - - - **Helping prevent accidental data disclosure to removable media.** WIP helps prevent enterprise data from leaking when it's copied or transferred to removable media. For example, if an employee puts enterprise data on a Universal Serial Bus (USB) drive that also has personal data, the enterprise data remains encrypted while the personal data doesn’t. - - - **Remove access to enterprise data from enterprise-protected devices.** WIP gives admins the ability to revoke enterprise data from one or many MDM-enrolled devices, while leaving personal data alone. This is a benefit when an employee leaves your company, or in the case of a stolen device. After determining that the data access needs to be removed, you can unenroll the device so when it connects to the network, the user's encryption key for the device is revoked and the enterprise data becomes unreadable. - -## Turn off WIP - -You can turn off all Windows Information Protection and restrictions, reverting to where you were pre-WIP, with no data loss.

    QuestionMore Information

    What is the frequency that reporting information is sent to the reporting database?

    The frequency depends on how the reporting task is configured on the computer running the App-V client. You must configure the frequency / interval for sending the reporting data. App-V Reporting is not enabled by default.

    What information is stored in the reporting server database?

    The following list displays what is stored in the reporting database:

    -
      -

    • The operating system running on the computer running the App-V client: host name, version, service pack, type - client/server, processor architecture.

      • -

    • App-V Client information: version.

      • -

    • Published package list: GUID, version GUID, name.

      • -

    • Application usage information: name, version, streaming server, user (domain\alias), package version GUID, launch status and time, shutdown time.

      • -

    What is the average volume of information that is sent to the reporting server?

    It depends. The following list displays the three sets of the data sent to the reporting server:

    -
      -

    1. Operating system, and App-V client information. ~150 Bytes, every time this data is sent.

      2. -

    2. Published package list. ~7 KB for 30 packages. This is sent only when the package list is updated with a publishing refresh, which is done infrequently; if there is no change, this information is not sent.

      3. -

    3. Virtual application usage information – about 0.25KB per event. Opening and closing count as one event if both occur before sending the information. When sending using a scheduled task, only the data since the last successful upload is sent to the server. If sending manually through the Windows PowerShell cmdlet, there is an optional argument that controls if the data needs to be re-sent next time around – that argument is DeleteOnSuccess.

      -

      -

      So for example, if twenty applications are opened and closed and reporting information is scheduled to be sent daily, the typical daily traffic should be about 0.15KB + 20 x 0.25KB, or about 5KB/user

      4. -

    Can reporting be scheduled?

    Yes. Besides manually sending reporting using Windows PowerShell cmdlets (Send-AppvClientReport), the task can be scheduled so it will happen automatically. There are two ways to schedule the reporting:

    -
      -

    1. Using Windows PowerShell cmdlets - Set-AppvClientConfiguration. For example:

      -

      Set-AppvClientConfiguration -ReportingEnabled 1 -ReportingServerURL http://any.com/appv-reporting

      -

      -

      For a complete list of client configuration settings see [About Client Configuration Settings](appv-client-configuration-settings.md) and look for the following entries: ReportingEnabled, ReportingServerURL, ReportingDataCacheLimit, ReportingDataBlockSize, ReportingStartTime, ReportingRandomDelay, ReportingInterval.

      -

      2. -

    2. By using Group Policy. If distributed using the domain controller, the settings are the same as previously listed.

      -
      -Note   -

      Group Policy settings override local settings configured using Windows PowerShell.

    [Application development for Windows as a service](application-development-for-windows-as-a-service.md)

    -

    In today’s environment, where user expectations frequently are set by device-centric experiences, complete product cycles need to be measured in months, not years. Additionally, new releases must be made available on a continual basis, and must be deployable with minimal impact on users. Microsoft designed Windows 10 to meet these requirements by implementing a new approach to innovation, development, and delivery called [Windows as a service (WaaS)](introduction-to-windows-10-servicing.md). The key to enabling significantly shorter product cycles while maintaining high quality levels is an innovative community-centric approach to testing that Microsoft has implemented for Windows 10. The community, known as Windows Insiders, is comprised of millions of users around the world. When Windows Insiders opt in to the community, they test many builds over the course of a product cycle and provide feedback to Microsoft through an iterative methodology called flighting.

    [Application Virtualization for Windows (App-V)](appv-for-windows.md)

    When you deploy Application Virtualization (App-V) in your orgnazation, you can deliver Win32 applications to users as virtual applications. Virtual applications are installed on centrally managed servers and delivered to users as a service – in real time and on as as-needed basis. Users launch virtual applications from familiar access points, including the Windows Store, and interact with them as if they were installed locally.
