Microsoft 365 Copilot Business: SMB offers and opportunities.
From July 1, Microsoft's new SMB Copilot pricing creates a bigger partner opportunity. Here's what's changed and how to turn it into more sales.
Our Application Control Expertise
Our experience with application control and application allowlisting spans more than 10 years, with successful implementations across a wide range of industries and organisation sizes. This extensive experience has allowed us to overcome countless challenges, developing a robust methodology for smooth deployments. We leverage this expertise to craft customised application control strategies that align with each organisation’s unique security objectives, operational workflows and compliance requirements.
Our Partnership with Airlock Digital
Application control at scale is challenging for many organisations. Traditional tools do not support practical and sustainable processes, resulting in many organisations phasing out application control due to frequent disruptions to systems, users and operations.
As part of our commitment to delivering solutions aligned with the Essential Eight, Crayon has partnered with Airlock Digital, a leading application control vendor. Through this partnership, we enable partners to offer a secure and streamlined application control and allow list management solution for their clients.
