Organisations today face multiple security threats due to remote work, changing threat landscapes and device proliferation. Microsoft Intune offers your organisation a robust cybersecurity solution, with features such as remote device wipe, app management and compliance policies to bolster protection and maximise end user security.
Quick win 1: Remote device wipe
Remote device wipe is a valuable way for your organisation to respond swiftly and effectively to potential threats. It provides an efficient means of dealing with theft or loss of devices that may expose you to data breaches.
Administrators can utilise this feature to remotely delete sensitive information, preventing unauthorised access.
Remote device wipe can provide your organisation with a powerful strategy against misplaced or stolen devices falling into the wrong hands, protecting valuable data while mitigating security threats.
By quickly wiping corporate information off lost or stolen devices, you not only protect intellectual property but also maintain control over sensitive information, strengthening resilience against breaches.
Quick win 2: Effective app management
Effective app management is critical to organisational resilience, and Microsoft Intune's app management features help reduce processes while strengthening security measures. Intune enables your organisation to deploy and update business applications across devices quickly and safely, while ensuring all endpoint users have access to the latest security patches and features.
Intune's central control eliminates the need for additional infrastructure, streamlining the management landscape and reducing potential points of vulnerability. Not only does its app management approach increase end user security, but it also maximises operational efficiency allowing your organisation to navigate digital spaces with confidence and ease.
Furthering this, Intune's cloud architecture eliminates on-premises dependence for traditional services such as Microsoft System Center Configuration Management (SCCM). Intune provides applications globally and updates users' devices wherever they are.
Remote deployment without VPN restrictions streamlines deployment for enhanced security on any device with internet access. With a foundation of security, Intune leverages Microsoft cloud’s real-time threat protection for safeguarding against emerging risks while adopting agile device management. Plus, integration with Microsoft 365 ensures both endpoint device and data protection simultaneously.
Quick win 3: Conditional access policies
Conditional access policies serve as an invaluable safeguard, with Microsoft Intune leading the charge in supporting secure access. By enacting such policies, your organisation gains granular control over user authentication processes - guaranteeing access is granted only under specific conditions.
Intune gives you adaptive access policies, modifying security measures based on real-time assessments of user behaviour and device health. Integration with real-time threat protection provides an extra layer of security, so you can strengthen access points against emerging threats.
Furthermore, Intune's support for conditional access policies ensures your sensitive data remains safe while adapting to changing cyber threat environments - giving your organisation a secure yet responsive security framework.
Quick win 4: Compliance policies
Compliance policies play an essential role in end-user security, ensuring your organisation adheres to regulatory standards and internal security protocols. Microsoft Intune stands out as a key player in streamlining the creation and enforcement of compliance policies.
Through templates or custom configurations, Intune allows your organisation to categorise policies based on user attributes, device specifications, and compliance status. Real-time compliance assessments provide continuous monitoring and rapid responses to any deviations from established standards.
What truly distinguishes Intune from its peers is its automated remediation capabilities, quickly addressing non-compliance issues. With Intune, managing end user security through robust compliance policies becomes not only manageable, but efficient as your organisation strengthens itself against potential risks.
