Microsoft Intune
A cloud-based endpoint management solution that helps organizations manage devices, applications, security policies, and access to company resources.
Product
Microsoft IntuneMicrosoft Intune provides cloud-based endpoint management for devices, applications, security settings, and access to organizational resources. It supports mobile device management and mobile application management across corporate and personally owned devices. It contributes to Zero Trust by evaluating device compliance and integrating that with Microsoft Entra Conditional Access, and it can work with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint so device risk informs access and remediation decisions.
How it works
- Devices are enrolled or registered for centralized management.
- Configuration profiles apply required settings for security, networking, certificates, and device features.
- Compliance policies evaluate whether devices meet organizational requirements.
- Application management deploys, configures, protects, and removes business applications.
- Mobile application management protects company data within supported applications, including on unmanaged devices.
- Microsoft Entra Conditional Access can use device compliance when making access decisions.
- Endpoint security policies help manage antivirus, firewall, encryption, account protection, and attack surface reduction settings.
A problem it solves
Employees access company email and documents from both corporate and personal mobile devices. The organization needs to protect business information without taking full control of every personal device. Microsoft Intune applies application protection policies that restrict data transfer, require secure access, and allow company data to be removed without deleting personal content.
