Get ready to rethink what app control means on Windows. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the latest updates to App Control for Business—starting with the new script enforcement model that brings consistent behavior across script hosts (so you can move off those “vintage” APIs). Get a tour of Smart App Control policy options, plus a look at session locked signed policies—no more UEFI locks—perfect for ephemeral Windows endpoints like VMs that pop into existence, do their job, and vanish like they were never there. And because good things happen in threes, we’ll also touch on what’s changing in the Azure Arc management tooling for servers. We’ll also show you where to find update, prescriptive documentation designed to help you build strong, practical policy from day one.
