Microsoft Intune Overview

Over the years of being a cloud solution provider for Microsoft I’ve been working on trying to distill the most basic explanation of what Microsoft Intune accomplishes for IT professionals and business leaders.

The below is my effort to simplify at a high level what you receive with a correctly configured deployment of Microsoft Intune. #Microsoft #Intune #Cloud

• Mobile Device Management (MDM): Intune can manage and secure mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, including iOS, Android, and Windows devices. This includes configuring policies, managing updates, enforcing security settings, and remotely wiping devices if necessary.
• Mobile Application Management (MAM): Intune can manage and secure mobile apps, including line-of-business apps and third-party apps, without requiring full control over the device itself. This includes configuring policies, controlling app access, and protecting app data.
• Conditional Access: Intune can enforce conditional access policies based on factors such as user identity, device compliance, and network location to ensure that only authorized users and devices can access corporate resources.
• Identity and Access Management: Intune can integrate with Azure Active Directory to provide secure single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) for cloud and on-premises applications.
• Device Enrollment: Intune can automate the enrollment and configuration of devices, including bulk enrollment and zero-touch deployment for Android and iOS devices.
• Endpoint Protection: Intune can provide endpoint protection for Windows devices, including antivirus, firewall, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities.
• Reporting and Analytics: Intune can provide detailed reports and analytics on device and app usage, compliance status, and security incidents.
