As businesses continue to adopt Windows 365 Cloud PCs, ensuring data security and compliance becomes increasingly critical. One effective security measure is the implementation of watermarking, which can display QR codes on the screen to deter data leakage and track information access. This blog will guide you through the steps to enable watermarking in Windows 365 Cloud PCs using Microsoft Intune.
What is Watermarking?
Watermarking involves overlaying a visual mark, such as a QR code, on the screen. This can help prevent unauthorized sharing of sensitive information by making it easily identifiable. QR codes can also be used to embed tracking information, enhancing the traceability of data access and distribution.
Benefits of Watermarking
- Deterrence: Visible watermarks discourage users from capturing and sharing sensitive information.
Traceability:QR codes can contain metadata that helps track when and where the information was accessed.
Compliance: Helps organizations! meet regulatory requirements for data protection.
