Tech Data Launches Modern Workplace with Secure Solution through the Cloud Solution Factory

Business Wire
Tech Data (Nasdaq: TECD) today announced it has expanded its
Cloud Solution Factory offering with the addition of Modern
Workplace with Microsoft Secure Score that establishes a security
baseline for Office 365 users with automated policy
enforcement.
The addition helps businesses take better control of their
security strategies by providing an alternative to the entry-level
Microsoft Security Defaults. Among the capabilities enabled by this
new offering, Tech Data’s flexible design applies customizable
conditional access for multi-factor authentication (MFA). In
addition to supporting legacy authentication methods, users can be
excluded, and other secure access methods can also be applied.
Finally, the offering enables emergency access profiles, also known
as “break-glass accounts,” and other authentication
requirements.
With this latest addition, the Tech Data Cloud Solution Factory
now includes more than 25 preconfigured “Click-to-Run” solutions
designed to address a variety of challenges businesses face as they
navigate the complexity of digital transformation.
“These solutions align with our strategy of delivering higher
value by providing scalable, secure and robust end-to-end solutions
that are fully vetted, and can be deployed in less than 30
minutes,” said Sergio Farache, senior vice president, strategy,
innovation, cloud and M&A, Tech Data. “As experts in cloud and
solution development, Tech Data is able to simplify the cloud
configuration and deployment processes, so our channel partners can
serve their customers quickly and effectively while mitigating
cybersecurity risks. Moreover, these solutions are becoming
increasingly important as needs for remote workplace technologies
grow for businesses across industries and geographies.”
Secure Score is designed as a risk assessment framework that
provides a numerical summary of a business’s security position
based on criteria like identity, data, devices and user behavior.
Partners can leverage Microsoft Secure Score to drive awareness,
track progress and encourage incremental improvements toward a
long-term security plan, all while managing risk with the help of
Tech Data’s Modern Workplace with Secure Solution.
Service Providers can quickly assess their end-user
environments, prioritize remediation steps and offer professional
services to manage and improve the security of their clients’ cloud
environments. In addition to the flexible authentication
capabilities Tech Data allows partners to automatically apply data
loss prevention and advanced threat protection policies to help
mitigate risk associated with data leakage and common email
attacks.
“Providing our customers with a secure modern workplace
environment is critical, especially as businesses continue to
provide flexible work environments,” said Matt Tinney, CEO, Windows
Management Experts Inc. “Through Tech Data’s Modern Workplace with
Secure Score, we can increase the environment's security posture,
as well as provide granular control, and offer custom policies and
exclusions for unique users that are beyond security default
settings offered by Office 365. In addition, we recognized the need
and value to offer an automated but flexible way to apply security
policies and help our clients transition to more advanced
conditional access policies for authentication.”

solve business challenges through “click-to-run” solutions are
designed for simple, fast deployment. These solutions are developed
by leveraging Tech Data’s vast technology expertise and ecosystem
