Sécurité Endpoint
Sécurisez et gérez les appareils dans des environnements hybrides et à distance.
Endpoints are the most frequently targeted entry points in modern cyberattacks — and in hybrid work environments, every laptop, mobile device, and cloud-managed workstation is a potential attack vector. Securing endpoints requires more than antivirus: it demands continuous device compliance monitoring, AI-powered threat detection, automated response capabilities, and tight integration with the identity and access management controls that govern what each endpoint can access.
One Step Beyond specialises in endpoint security within the Microsoft cloud ecosystem. As a certified Microsoft Solutions Partner for Modern Work & Security, our engineers implement Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Microsoft Intune to deliver unified endpoint protection, device compliance enforcement, and Zero Trust access controls — fully integrated with Microsoft Entra ID and your existing Microsoft 365 environment. For organisations requiring endpoint security beyond the Microsoft stack — CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Check Point, Palo Alto, CyberArk ELP — these platforms are delivered by our Swiss Expert Group partners e-Xpert Solutions and eb-Qual, who hold deep certified expertise across the full endpoint security vendor landscape.
Our Endpoint Security Capabilities :
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint — AI-Driven EDR
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is Microsoft’s enterprise-grade Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platform — using AI and behavioural analysis to detect malware, ransomware, fileless attacks, and advanced persistent threats in real time. It provides complete visibility into endpoint activity, automated investigation and response capabilities, and deep integration with Microsoft 365 Defender and Microsoft Sentinel for unified XDR threat detection.
Our engineers deploy and configure Microsoft Defender for Endpoint across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android devices — tuning detection rules, configuring automated response playbooks, and integrating endpoint telemetry with your broader security operations environment. Defender for Endpoint signals feed into Microsoft Sentinel for SIEM correlation, and into our Swiss Expert Group partners’ At-Defense SOC for 24/7 managed monitoring where required.
Microsoft Intune — Device Compliance & Management
Microsoft Intune is the device management and compliance backbone of a Zero Trust endpoint architecture. It provides Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM) capabilities that enforce security policies on every device connecting to your corporate resources — whether corporate-owned or BYOD.
Our engineers design and implement Intune environments that cover device enrolment and configuration management, security baseline enforcement, application deployment and update management, BYOD policies with data separation, and compliance policies that integrate with Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access — automatically blocking non-compliant devices from accessing corporate applications and data. Every Intune configuration is designed to be maintainable, auditable, and aligned with Swiss nLPD and FINMA requirements.
Zero Trust Device Compliance & Conditional Access
Device compliance is meaningless without enforcement. Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access uses Intune compliance signals as one of four verification factors — alongside identity risk, location, and application sensitivity — to make real-time access decisions. A device that fails a compliance check — missing critical patches, lacking BitLocker encryption, running an outdated OS — is automatically blocked from corporate resources or directed to a remediation workflow.
Our engineers implement integrated Conditional Access and Intune compliance policies that enforce Zero Trust device requirements across your entire user population — including guest users, contractors, and BYOD devices — without disrupting the experience of users on compliant, well-managed endpoints.
Microsoft Defender for Business & SME Endpoint Protection
Large enterprise EDR capabilities are now available to Swiss SMEs through Microsoft Defender for Business — a streamlined endpoint security solution included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium. For Swiss SMEs that need enterprise-grade endpoint protection without the complexity of a full Microsoft Defender for Endpoint deployment, our consultants implement and configure Defender for Business — covering automated threat investigation, simplified device onboarding, and integration with Microsoft 365 Security Centre — delivering meaningful security improvement at a cost and complexity level appropriate for smaller organisations.
BYOD & Mobile Device Security
Employee-owned devices accessing corporate resources represent one of the most challenging endpoint security scenarios — balancing employee privacy, corporate security requirements, and usability. Our engineers implement Microsoft Intune MAM policies that protect corporate data on personal devices without requiring full MDM enrolment — enabling organisations to enforce data loss prevention on corporate applications, enforce encryption for corporate data at rest, and remotely wipe corporate data from personal devices — all without touching personal content or applications.
Endpoint Security Integration with Microsoft 365 Defender XDR
Endpoint detection is most powerful when correlated with signals from identity, email, cloud applications, and network — the Extended Detection and Response (XDR) model. Microsoft 365 Defender unifies signals from Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Identity, Defender for Office 365, and Defender for Cloud Apps into a single XDR platform — enabling attack chain correlation that no individual endpoint tool can provide.
Our engineers integrate Defender for Endpoint into Microsoft 365 Defender XDR — configuring cross-product detection rules, automated investigation and response playbooks, and threat analytics dashboards that give your security team comprehensive visibility across your entire Microsoft security estate.
Why One Step Beyond for Endpoint Security?
One Step Beyond’s endpoint security practice is built on deep Microsoft Defender and Intune expertise — the endpoint security platforms that are natively integrated into every Microsoft 365 and Azure environment. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Modern Work & Security, our engineers implement endpoint security as part of a coherent, integrated security architecture — not as a standalone tool bolted onto an existing environment.
Our approach to endpoint security is inseparable from our approach to identity: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint provides the device signals, Microsoft Intune enforces compliance policies, and Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access uses both to make continuous, real-time access decisions. This integration is what makes Zero Trust endpoint security work in practice — and it is where our certified Microsoft expertise delivers the most value.
For endpoint security platforms beyond Microsoft — CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne Singularity, Check Point Harmony, Palo Alto Cortex XDR, and CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager — we work with our Swiss Expert Group partners e-Xpert Solutions (Geneva, Lausanne) and eb-Qual (Givisiez, Kloten), who hold certified expertise across these platforms.
We operate from our office in Gland (Vaud), serving organisations across French-speaking Switzerland and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions – Endpoint Security in Switzerland
Q : What is Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and how does it differ from traditional antivirus?
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is an enterprise-grade Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platform — fundamentally different from traditional antivirus. Traditional antivirus uses signature-based detection to identify known malicious files. Defender for Endpoint uses AI, machine learning, and behavioural analysis to detect unknown threats, fileless attacks, and living-off-the-land techniques that signatures miss. It also provides deep forensic investigation capabilities, automated response actions (isolate device, kill process, remove threat), and integration with Microsoft 365 Defender XDR for cross-domain threat correlation — capabilities that no antivirus product can match.
Q : What is Microsoft Intune and why is it essential for Zero Trust?
Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based device management platform that enforces security policies on every device connecting to your corporate resources — corporate-owned and BYOD alike. In a Zero Trust architecture, Intune provides the device compliance signals that Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access uses to make access decisions: a device without the required patch level, encryption status, or EDR agent is automatically blocked from corporate applications. Without Intune, Zero Trust device compliance cannot be enforced — leaving a critical gap in the identity-and-device verification model that Zero Trust requires.
Q : What is the difference between Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Microsoft Defender for Business?
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is the full enterprise EDR platform — designed for large organisations with dedicated security operations teams, advanced threat hunting capabilities, custom detection rules, and API access for SIEM integration. Microsoft Defender for Business is a streamlined version included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium — designed for SMEs without dedicated security teams, providing automated investigation and response with simplified management through the Microsoft 365 Security Centre. One Step Beyond implements both: Defender for Endpoint for larger organisations and regulated environments, Defender for Business for Swiss SMEs that need meaningful endpoint protection at appropriate cost and complexity.
Q : How does BYOD security work with Microsoft Intune?
Microsoft Intune supports two BYOD models: Mobile Device Management (MDM), where the full device is enrolled and managed by Intune, and Mobile Application Management (MAM) without enrolment, where only corporate applications and their data are managed — leaving personal content untouched. For most BYOD scenarios, One Step Beyond recommends MAM without enrolment: it protects corporate data (enforces encryption, prevents copy-paste to personal applications, enables remote corporate data wipe) without requiring employees to surrender control of their personal device. This approach respects Swiss nLPD employee data privacy requirements while maintaining meaningful corporate data protection.
Q : How does endpoint security integrate with the At-Defense SOC?
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint telemetry integrates with Microsoft Sentinel, which in turn connects to the At-Defense SOC operated by our Swiss Expert Group partner e-Xpert Solutions — certified ISO 27001 and covered by an ISAE 3000 report. Endpoint events, threat detections, and device compliance signals are correlated with identity, network, and cloud data in the SOC’s SIEM for unified 24/7 threat detection. For organisations requiring full managed endpoint detection and response, One Step Beyond deploys Microsoft Defender and our SEG partners operate the SOC monitoring — a seamless combination within the Swiss Expert Group ecosystem.
