2. Enterprise-Grade Security: Built-In, End-to-End

Security isn’t optional—it’s foundational. Copilot+ PC devices deliver robust, chip-to-cloud protection, reducing security incidents by 58% compared to legacy systems. When paired with Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Pluton Zero Trust principles at the core, businesses gain comprehensive protection across identities, devices, and data—no matter where or how teams work.

Key security features include:

  • Hardware-Level Security Integration. Pluton is embedded directly into the CPU, reducing the attack surface and making it significantly harder for attackers to tamper with or bypass security mechanisms.

  • Secure Vault for Sensitive Data. Pluton acts as a secure vault inside the processor, protecting: Passwords, Online credentials, Encryption keys and Personal data. This ensures that even if the device is compromised, critical information remains protected.

  • Automatic Firmware Updates. Pluton receives security updates directly from Microsoft via Windows Update, ensuring continuous protection against evolving threats without manual intervention.

  • End-to-End Protection. Pluton works seamlessly with Windows 11 security features like Windows Hello (biometric authentication), BitLocker (disk encryption), Microsoft Defender (threat protection) to offer a comprehensive security framework from chip to cloud.

  • Support for Zero Trust Architecture. Pluton enhances identity protection and device attestation, key pillars of Zero Trust. It ensures that only verified users and devices can access sensitive resources, aligning with Microsoft’s Secure Future Initiative

These integrated protections have led to a 3.1x drop in firmware attacks and an average of 4,000 identity threats blocked per second over the past year.

For partners, this means a compelling security story to take to market—helping customers safeguard their environments while simplifying IT operations.

3. Speed Meets Savings: Lower Costs, Higher Efficiency

Copilot+ PCs with Microsoft 365 don’t just perform, they transform. By modernising customer environments with AI-powered devices, partners can help simplify infrastructure, reduce operational costs, and dramatically boost productivity.

  • 20% drop in operating costs

  • 61% increase in employee satisfaction

  • 50% faster workflows and collaboration

  • 70% of users report increased productivity

  • 70% of employees actively delegate tasks to AI
