Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM) solution that empowers organisations to securely manage and protect their mobile devices and applications. Whether your organisation uses company-owned devices or implements Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies, Intune offers several key benefits:
- Device Management: Intune enables IT administrators to manage a wide range of devices, including Windows PCs, Macs, iOS, and Android devices, from a centralised console. This includes configuring settings, enforcing security policies, and distributing apps.
- Application Management: It allows for the secure distribution and management of apps, both public and private, on various device platforms. This ensures that users have access to the right apps while maintaining control over app security and data protection.
- Data Protection: Intune helps safeguard corporate data by enforcing data protection policies, such as encryption, data loss prevention (DLP), and conditional access controls. This ensures that sensitive information remains secure on mobile devices.
- Conditional Access: Organisations can implement conditional access policies to control access to corporate resources based on device compliance and user identity, enhancing security.
- Remote Wipe and Lock: In the event of a lost or stolen device, Intune allows remote actions like wiping or locking the device to protect sensitive data.
- Security Baselines: Intune provides security baselines that help organisations configure devices with recommended security settings, reducing the risk of security breaches.
- Integration with Microsoft 365: As part of the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, Intune seamlessly integrates with other Microsoft services like Azure AD and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, creating a comprehensive security solution.
User Productivity: While Intune enhances security, it also aims to improve user productivity by enabling access to corporate resources from anywhere on any device, ensuring a seamless and productive work experience.
