The “5,000 Reasons” Wake-Up Call

5,000 Credentials Harvested: Is Your Business the Next Target?

The Sobering Reality: A phishing syndicate just successfully harvested 5,000 user credentials. That is 5,000 open doors for secondary attacks. If you are still relying on “passwords and a prayer,” the clock is ticking.

The good news? You likely already have the foundation to stop this. By leveraging Microsoft Intune and moving toward a Zero Trust model, you can effectively “kill the password” and lock down your environment.

How Intune Stops the Harvest

Conditional Access

Stolen credentials are useless if the login isn’t coming from a managed, compliant device.

Phishing-Resistant MFA

Enforce Windows Hello for Business or FIDO2 keys so there’s no password to “phish.”

Remote Wipe

If a device is compromised, wipe corporate data instantly from a central dashboard.

Credential Guard

Isolates secrets using virtualization so even if a password is stolen, the “tokens” remain hidden.

Securing Your Digital Border: Preventing Data Loss with Microsoft Intune App Protection Policies






Securing Your Digital Border: Preventing Data Loss with Microsoft Intune App Protection Policies

In today’s mobile-first work environment, company data no longer lives safely behind a physical office wall. Your employees are accessing sensitive emails and financial reports from their personal smartphones every single day.

While this Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) culture boosts productivity, it creates a massive security gap. Without the right controls, a simple “copy and paste” into a personal chat can lead to a significant data breach.

Data Protection Without the “Big Brother” Feel

One of the biggest hurdles to mobile security in Nigeria and Ghana is employee privacy concerns. Microsoft Intune App Protection Policies (APP)—also known as Mobile Application Management (MAM)—allow you to put a “protective bubble” around business data without ever needing to manage the employee’s entire phone.

APP FEATURE

App-Level Data Containment

Restrict data movement so that business information stays within managed apps like Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive. Personal apps remain outside this perimeter.

APP FEATURE

Granular Copy/Paste Controls

Prevent employees from copying sensitive work text into personal apps (like WhatsApp) or saving work attachments to personal storage like Google Drive.

APP FEATURE

Selective Wipe

If an employee leaves the company, you can remotely delete only the corporate data. Personal photos, contacts, and apps are left completely untouched.

Why App Protection is a Strategic Must

Implementing these policies builds a resilient, trust-based organization:

Benefit Impact on Growth & Reputation
Protects Assets Ensure trade secrets and client lists remain encrypted even on unmanaged hardware.
Maintains Trust Support BYOD by guaranteeing privacy. Employees are more likely to adopt security when their personal life stays private.
Reduces Risk Meet the strict data handling requirements of the NDPR (Nigeria) and Data Protection Act (Ghana).

Scaling Without the Chaos: Centralized Device Management with Microsoft Intune






Scaling Without the Chaos: Centralized Device Management with Microsoft Intune

For fast-growing organizations in Nigeria and Ghana, expansion often comes with a hidden tax: IT complexity. As teams grow, managing a fleet of diverse laptops, smartphones, and tablets manually becomes a logistical nightmare.

The Growth Bottleneck: When new hires spend their first three days waiting for software installations and security setups, your growth is being throttled. Microsoft Intune is the cloud-based solution that brings order to the chaos.

It allows your IT team to manage every endpoint—Windows, macOS, iOS, or Android—from a single, centralized dashboard.

Modern Management for a Modern Workforce

Intune shifts the burden of device setup from your IT staff to the cloud, enabling a “ready-to-work” experience from the moment a box is opened.

Single Dashboard for All Devices

Eliminate tool sprawl. Oversee your entire digital estate—including corporate-owned hardware and personal (BYOD) devices—without switching between different platforms.

Automated Configuration & Compliance

Push Wi-Fi settings, VPN profiles, and security certificates automatically. Define rules that block non-compliant devices from accessing sensitive company data.

Windows Autopilot (Zero-Touch Deployment)

Ship a brand-new laptop directly from the vendor to an employee’s home. Once they log in, the device automatically configures itself with everything they need.

Efficiency at Scale

Automated device management makes your organization more agile and secure:

Strategic Goal The Intune Advantage
Faster Onboarding Reduce employee setup time from days to minutes. New hires hit the ground running immediately.
Reduced IT Workload Free your team from repetitive manual builds to focus on high-impact strategic projects.
Standardized Security Ensure every device—regardless of location—meets the same high security standards.

Scalable Success with Velvot

We help you build an Intune environment that accounts for local bandwidth realities and regional hardware preferences. Whether you are hiring 5 people or 500, we keep your IT one step ahead.

Securing Remote & Hybrid Workforces with Microsoft Intune






Securing Remote & Hybrid Workforces with Microsoft Intune

The New Workplace Reality Most Businesses Are Unprepared For

Across Nigeria and Ghana, work no longer happens only in the office. Employees now access company data from homes, co‑working spaces, and personal mobile devices. While this flexibility improves productivity, it has quietly opened the door to data leaks and security breaches.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: it’s no longer a question of if a security incident will happen — but when. Organisations that fail to secure endpoints are one compromised device away from downtime or regulatory trouble.

What Microsoft Intune Actually Does

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based endpoint management platform that enables security without friction. It works seamlessly with Microsoft 365 to enforce modern Zero Trust security.

✓ Secure data on any device
✓ Identity-based access control
✓ Privacy-first app protection
✓ Remote data wipe capabilities

Industries Feeling the Pressure Most

Financial Services & Fintech

Ensuring sensitive customer data is protected while meeting strict regulatory compliance through strong device control.

Professional Services & Consulting

Protecting client data on personal laptops used by consultants moving between various locations and networks.

Healthcare, Education & NGOs

Securing highly sensitive data with limited IT resources while supporting growing remote collaboration needs.

Business Benefits Leaders Care About

  • Reduced Data Breach Risk: Stop threats at the endpoint before they enter your network.
  • Secure BYOD (Bring Your Own Device): Respect employee privacy while keeping corporate apps isolated and secure.
  • Lower IT Overhead: Manage all devices—Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android—from one central cloud console.
  • Conditional Access: Automatically block devices that aren’t updated or don’t meet your security standards.
