Support secure and manageable AI environments

  • 1 minute

Building on how AI supports everyday workflows, organizations must ensure these capabilities can scale across different environments while maintaining security, governance, and operational efficiency.

Copilot+ PCs support this approach by combining on-device AI, the Windows platform, and cloud-connected services into a unified system that helps organizations manage, secure, and scale AI-enabled experiences across their environment.

Maintaining security and control

As AI becomes more integrated into daily work, maintaining security and governance is increasingly important.

Copilot+ PCs build on the security foundation of Windows 11 Pro with hardware-backed protections, centralized management tools, and governance capabilities designed to help organizations maintain visibility and control.

Organizations can:

  • Identity management—Manage identities with Microsoft Entra ID
  • Device management—Manage devices and policies with Microsoft Intune
  • Update management—Keep devices current using Windows Autopatch and Hotpatch
  • AI governance—Monitor and govern AI experiences across devices and workflows

These capabilities help organizations reduce operational risk, maintain compliance confidence, and support secure AI adoption across teams and workflows.

Supporting IT efficiency at scale

Copilot+ PCs support streamlined deployment and lifecycle management through modern provisioning and management tools that reduce manual setup and operational overhead.

Key capabilities include:

  • Zero-touch provisioning for faster deployment
  • Centralized management of devices, applications, and policies
  • Cloud-based configuration and updates across distributed environments
  • Energy-efficient AI processing through NPUs designed to balance performance and power consumption

For IT teams, energy-efficient NPUs can help support lower power consumption, improved battery life, sustainability goals, and longer device usability across modern work environments.

These capabilities help organizations scale AI-enabled workflows while maintaining consistent management and operational efficiency.

Supporting hybrid and flexible work

Copilot+ PCs are designed to support employees working across offices, remote locations, and travel environments.

With AI experiences available locally on the device, employees can continue using supported AI features even when internet connectivity is limited.

This flexibility helps organizations:

  • Support hybrid and remote work environments
  • Maintain productivity across changing connectivity conditions
  • Deliver consistent AI experiences across locations and devices
  • Balance local responsiveness with cloud-connected capabilities

Together, these capabilities help organizations support secure, manageable, and adaptable AI-powered work environments.
