Organizations are facing a growing list of practical challenges: securing devices across multiple locations, managing access to sensitive data, and ensuring employees can work smoothly from wherever they are. It’s not just about flexibility anymore—it’s about building a secure, scalable foundation that supports how people actually work today.

The New Reality: Hybrid Work and Rising Cyber Threats
As organizations embrace flexible work models, the attack surface has expanded. In Canada, ransomware attacks surged by 74% in 2023, and the trend continues. The rise of generative AI adds another layer of complexity, introducing new vulnerabilities even as it boosts productivity. Yet, only 37% of Canadian CEOs believe their teams are ready to fully leverage AI, and 60% are rethinking the skills needed for the future workforce.

Why Endpoint Security Matters 
Endpoints are the new front line of cybersecurity. With employees accessing corporate resources from various locations and devices, ensuring secure, consistent access is critical. Unfortunately, 40% of data breaches now involve data stored across multiple environments, and breaches involving public cloud data are the most expensive—averaging USD 5.17 million.

AMTRA + Microsoft: A Smarter Approach to Endpoint Management
To meet these challenges, AMTRA partners with Microsoft to deliver a comprehensive, secure, and scalable solution for hybrid work. Whether you need Windows 365 Cloud PCs or Azure Virtual Desktop, we help you deploy, manage, and protect your digital workspace with confidence.

Key Benefits

• Zero Trust Security: Every access request is verified, regardless of location or device.
• Unified Endpoint Management: Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Endpoint Manager simplify operations across physical and virtual devices.
• Cost Efficiency: Organizations can reduce deployment costs by up to 88% and save up to USD 1.5 million over three years.
• Improved Productivity: Employees save 6–12 minutes per day thanks to reduced downtime and better performance.

Overcoming the Zero Trust Gap
While Zero Trust is widely accepted in theory, many organizations struggle with implementation. 63% of Canadian businesses find it difficult to translate strategy into action. AMTRA helps bridge this gap with centralized identity management, real-time monitoring, and seamless integration with Microsoft Defender and Entra ID.

Future Proofing with AI and Advanced Security
As AI adoption accelerates, so does the need for advanced security tools. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) are becoming essential. In Canada, EDR adoption jumped from 34.2% in 2022 to 58.2% in 2025, while XDR rose to 63.5%. AMTRA helps organizations stay ahead by integrating these tools into a secure, AI-ready infrastructure.
