Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) is a collection of security and management products from Microsoft that work seamlessly with Office 365. In this article we will go through EMS to outline what is it, why it’s beneficial, what’s included and compare licenses, costs and features between E3 and E5 to help you choose the right version.

Increasing security risks

Many organisations are already using and benefiting from Office 365 and other cloud services, which has enabled staff and organisations to adopt new working behaviours to increase productivity and flexibility. Remote working, increased mobility, BYOD, and instant access to cloud services have empowered staff to work effectively – but this brings new risks, security vulnerabilities and management headaches to IT departments.

Microsoft E5

1. Unlimited OneDrive storage for E3 or E5 subscriptions of five or more users. Microsoft will provide an initial 5 TB of OneDrive storage per user. Customers who want additional OneDrive storage can request it as needed by contacting Microsoft support. Subscriptions for fewer than five users receive 1 TB OneDrive storage per user.
2. I have deploy Microsoft 365 E5 include Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection for my customer My customer’s system have ADDS Service on-Premise. Some PC setup Win10 Pro and joined ADDS. I have setup Azure AD Connect sync Account from On-premise to Azure.

Staff can now easily store sensitive company data in places outside of IT control (shadow IT), or access information on personal devices, which can have little to no security protection in place. Situations like these – and many more – make managing your company network, identities and data difficult, as the boundary of your company IT landscape is blurred.

Consequently, companies need to adopt a ‘new’ cyber security model: zero trust networking and move away from the historic perimeter method, which is no longer effective. You can find out more on this in our article ‘The new cyber security model.’ EMS provides a range of products and features to help organisations overcome these challenges, adopt a zero-trust approach and centrally manage and secure data, identities and devices.

Licensing

EMS can be purchased as a standalone offering and comes in two versions: E3 and E5. E3 costs £6.60 per user per month and E5 costs £11.20 per user per month (commercial ERP pricing). Academic discounted pricing is available and discounted Not for Profit pricing – which includes free ‘donated’ EMS licences as part of Microsoft’s $5,000 Azure donation for charities. If you would like to find out more on this, please contact us.

As well as being able to purchase as a standalone, EMS is available within Microsoft 365. Microsoft 365 combines Office 365, EMS and Windows 10 into one bundle available as Business, E3 and E5. If you do not wish to make the step to Microsoft 365 E5 but want the security capabilities, then there is a security addon (‘Microsoft 365 E5 Security’ addon) that you can purchase on top of Microsoft 365 E3 that comes with the E5 security features across Office 365, EMS and Windows 10.

Comparing E3 and E5

As mentioned, EMS is available in E3 and E5 (as well as a scaled down E3 version included in Microsoft 365 Business, which we haven’t included here). As you would expect, E3 contains the core functionality while E5 provides additional products and capabilities over and above E3. You can what’s included in our comparison table:

What’s Included?

Azure Active Directory

Azure AD is a cloud-based identity and access management solution from Microsoft. Azure Active Directory comes in four versions: free (included with an Azure subscription) and an Office 365 edition, which provide more basic functionality and then two premium versions: P1 and P2, which are included with EMS (P1 in E3 and P2 in E5) – you can review the complete list of versions and their features here. Key features of Azure AD include:

• Streamlined user experience and logins with single sign-on (SSO) across thousands of SaaS applications
• Elevate security with built-in MFA and apply conditional access policies based on location, device and more to transition to a zero-trust approach
• Centralise and simplify identity management with advanced administration capabilities, such as group policies and dynamic groups
• Empower staff and reduce IT overhead with self-service capabilities, such as self-service password reset (SSPR) and application requests
• Integrate Azure AD with other Microsoft services, such as Cloud App Security for holistic security, or allow remote device building with Windows Autopilot and Intune

Intune

Intune is Microsoft’s Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution helps to protect and manage your staff devices and data – across mobiles, tablets, laptops and PCs. Key features include:

• Mobile device management across your entire mobile and PC ecosystem (iOS, Android and Windows) as well as all Windows 10 devices – for a complete solution
• Mobile app management to secure business apps and data on personal devices (BYOD) so staff can work securely on whatever device
• Ensure devices and apps are compliant with company security requirements
• Allow ‘zero touch’ IT – so that staff devices can be remotely deployed, reset or wiped to reduce courier costs and speed up efficiency
• Automatically remove threats across all managed endpoint when integrated with Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection

Advanced Threat Analytics

Apocs iconia driver download for windows 10. This is Microsoft’s on-premise threat detection platform that detects and investigates advanced attacks on your network using machine learning to rapidly alert you of any suspicious activity or anomalies. Advanced Threat Analytics (ATA) is included within EMS E3, whereas the cloud-based version is Azure ATP and included with EMS E5. Key features include:

• Learns typical user behaviour so that only anomalies or important issues are sent; greatly reducing alert noise
• Improves speed of detection and picks up suspicious patterns that would otherwise likely go undetected
• Prioritises risks and displays clear incident information with a simple timeline to make investigation much quicker, easier and more efficient

Azure Advanced Threat Protection

Azure ATP is the cloud-based version of Advanced Threat Analytics and included with EMS E5, providing all the above features but delivered via Azure.

Azure Information Protection

Sometimes referred to as AIP, this solution is for information management and protection and available within EMS as P1 or P2. AIP allows organisations to configure policies and classify their data and then provide persistent protection (using Azure Rights Management) to protect the data wherever it goes – especially important for data governance and compliance. Key features include:

• Ability to apply sensitivity labels and configure policies to tightly control data access and determine what is and isn’t allowed for labels (such as printing, forwarding, etc)
• Automatically search, classify and protect your company documents and files
• Ensure persistent protection so that it doesn’t matter where documents go – they are always protected with your configured rules
• Easily share data with external contacts and have peace of mind that access can be revoked at any point- ideal for sharing data with partners and suppliers
• Gain visibility on all data governance and documentation with powerful reporting and logging

Microsoft Cloud App Security (MCAS)

This is a Cloud App Security Broker (CASB) solution that provides visibility and control over your data across cloud services – Microsoft and third-party services, such as Salesforce, Dropbox etc. With MCAS, you can:

• Discover and control shadow IT – identify third-party apps in usage, review associated risks and compliance, analyse usage and then manage access and controls
• Classify and protect data across your cloud apps – apply policies (or automate labelling) with Azure Information Protection to make data self-protecting wherever it goes
• Detect unusual cloud behaviour to identity and remediate threats (such as compromised users and ransomware) with alert scoring and remediation actions
• Review your cloud app compliance – check the compliance risk of various cloud apps and drill into app usage to assess risk

Last Updated on

At Cloud Essentials, we spend a lot of time analysing licence package and add-on possibilities for enterprise clients in a variety of different verticals. Our most common recommendation – particularly for legal and financial services with more complex threat protection, IAM, compliance and analytics requirements – is the Microsoft 365 E5 licence.

Of course, Microsoft 365 E5 has a rather startling price tag in comparison to the lower-level enterprise licence options. We’ve had more than few raised eyebrows from customers at costing time.

Thankfully, when you take a closer look at the functionality bundled into the licence fee (and the number of expensive 3rd-party solutions it effectively replaces), the value proposition becomes a lot more obvious.

Microsoft 365 and Office 365: what’s the difference?

First off, let’s clarify: Microsoft 365 and Office 365 are not the same thing. Microsoft 365 is a package deal that bundles Office 365 with Windows 10 and Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS). There are three Microsoft 365 licence plans:

• Microsoft 365 E3, which includes O365 E3, Windows 10 and EMS
• Microsoft 365 E5, which includes O365 E5, Windows 10, EMS and the latest Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), security and collaboration tools
• Microsoft 365 F1, designed for frontline workers

Our preference for Microsoft 365 E5 is based largely on its ATP, security and analytics capabilities, but it delivers incredible value – and savings – on a number of fronts.

Let’s take a look.

Microsoft 365 E5 features that give the most bang for your buck

Microsoft Teams (previously Skype for Business) full package

Potential savings: $$$

On an E3 licence, Teams is a valuable collaboration tool. On an E5 licence, it becomes a comprehensive phone system that can effectively replace your enterprise telephony altogether (region dependent). It includes:

• Instant messaging
• In- and outbound call functionality
• Call routing, auto-attendants and call queues
• Voicemail
• Audio and video conferencing
• Call recording with transcription * NB Microsoft calling plans are currently only available in certain regions – check yours here)

Power BI Pro

Potential savings: $$$

Visual analytics and data modelling tools are notoriously expensive, as are the consultants that enterprises generally have to hire to implement them. On a Microsoft 365 E5 licence, however, business get free access to Power BI Pro: Microsoft’s self-service BI platform that delivers just as much functionality as top 3rd-party solutions with less complexity and lower costs. Read more on that here.

Advanced eDiscovery

Potential savings: $$$$$

eDiscovery is another area in which Microsoft 365 E5 punches well above its weight. In fact, if it delivered nothing more than this functionality, its licence fees would still be money well spent for a lot of customers.

By adding powerful analytics capabilities (as well as basic review tools) to the in-place search, in-place hold, and export functionality available in lower level licence plans, Microsoft 365 E5 enables businesses to perform large parts of the eDiscovery process in-house. This has the potential to save hundreds of thousands of pounds in legal fees and reduce eDiscovery timelines by a significant amount.

Identity & Access Management

Potential savings: $$

Leveraging Azure Active Directory (P2) functionality, Microsoft 365 E5 adds Identity Protection and Privileged Identity Management (PIM) to the foundational IAM of Office 365’s E5 license plan. These value-adding features provide next-level control over the security of user identities and permitted access and/or roles – the number one entry point for most targeted threats and malware attacks.

Thanks to this functionality, enterprises on Microsoft 365 E5 can (amongst other things):

• Detect vulnerabilities in user identities
• Detect and proactively prevent compromised identities from being abused
• Require approval for specific admin role changes or permissions
• Track granted admin rights and changes within admin groups
• Enable on-demand, just-in-time admin access for specific workflows

It would be a real challenge to find a 3rd-party solution that could provide anywhere near this level of environment-wide, integrated protection. There’s certainly no reason to keep paying for one if you’re on Microsoft 365 E5.

Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)

Potential savings: $$

Between Windows Defender ATP (network attack/data breach prevention), Office 365 ATP (email filtering) and Office 365 Threat Intelligence (security insights and reporting), threat protection on an Microsoft 365 E5 licence is unrivalled in its ability to stop known and unknown malware, viruses and malicious links dead in their tracks. These tools (exclusively available on an E5 license or as an add-on subscription) are effective in real time, across mailboxes as well as shared documents, and – most importantly – leverage threat intelligence gathered from across Microsoft’s entire, global ecosystem.

That’s impossible to match as a 3rd-party solution provider with a dramatically smaller footprint. Read more on that in our blog on Microsoft’s approach to ATP, here.

Advanced Data Governance (with auto-classification & labelling)

Potential savings: priceless (no 3rd-party equivalents)

All Microsoft Enterprise licence plans from E3 upwards allow for the implementation of manual data retention and deletion policies and classifications.

Microsoft 365 E5 goes one step further to automate that process using Azure Information Protection (P2) functionality. This scans content on save to apply the appropriate governance policies and/or labels to documents, ensuring compliance with zero user input required.

For businesses with very specific compliance requirements, we’d also suggest considering the value of Customer Key, Hold Your Own Key and Customer Lockbox, all of which are available on an Microsoft 365 E5 licence and provide unparalleled control over things like encryption keys, just-in-time authorisations and external access.

Cloud App Security

Potential savings: priceless (no 3rd-party equivalents)

Microsoft’s Data Loss Prevention (DLP) functionality is pretty impressive across all its licence plans. Where Microsoft 365 E5 stands out in the crowd is in Cloud App Security. This service extends enterprise DLP, Information Protection Policies and labelling to documents stored or shared in 3rd-party apps like Dropbox, shoring up potential breaches and blocking Shadow IT SaaS apps – something no 3rd-party solution can do.

Adding up the value

For many of our customers, getting rid of all the 3rd-party services and solutions that they needed in the past – along with their deployment, integration and management costs – makes up for the majority (if not entirety) of their M365 E5 licence fees, off the bat.

Add any kind of eDiscovery project to that tally, and M365 E5 literally pays for itself. It’s really a no-brainer for any enterprise with sophisticated compliance, data governance and analytics requirements.

But there’s more to the value of M365 E5 than just cost.

One of the biggest advantages of this license plan is that, by removing the need for 3rd party add-ons, it enables enterprises to manage all their tools and services on a single, integrated platform. For example, Office 365 labelling policies can be used to drive Data Leak Prevention, Mobile Device Management and Information Protection actions across the entire platform, all managed, monitored and reported on in one place.

That kind of seamless integration is both rare and incredibly valuable, and no licence plan does it quite as effortlessly as M365 E5.
