Intune’s device-securing capabilities have become essential to a robust security environment in an increasingly hybrid and remote work world. As a Microsoft partner, we rely on Microsoft Intune—among other Microsoft products—to deliver engineering-led solutions to our clients.
If you currently operate without this essential access management solution, let’s detail what it unlocks and how to optimize this key security component.
What is Microsoft Intune?
Intune is a cloud-based endpoint management solution. It manages user access to organizational resources and simplifies app and device management across many devices, including mobile devices, desktop computers, and virtual endpoints.
It’s key features allow you to
- Manage users and devices
- Simplify app management
- Automate policy deployment
- Integrate with mobile threat defense
- Use a web-based admin center
- Deploy advanced endpoint management and security
- Integrate with Copilot for advanced threat analysis
Forrester categorizes Intune as an industry leader, stating, ‘The Microsoft Intune Suite can save organizations money, improve productivity, and lower security risk by providing an integrated solution to replace those disparate tools.’ Forrester estimates that deploying Intune can save time on endpoint security by 50%.
Primary Benefits to Businesses
Intune allows IT to manage, assess, and protect apps and devices throughout the organization—even those that aren’t on-premises or supplied by end-users (as in Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs).
Intune supports several operating systems, including Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS, and Linux. This versatility makes it an ideal solution for modern organizations with varied endpoints and, once again, with BYOD policies.
Most importantly for all parties, Intune safeguards corporate data while leaving personal data such as documents, photos, and apps alone. It also supports a Zero Trust security model, which tightens cybersecurity through a minimally permissive, highly skeptical permissions framework.
