Getting Started with Microsoft Intune: An Overview for Beginners

-

What is Microsoft Intune?

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based service that focuses on mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM). It enables organizations to manage and secure devices used by employees, ensuring that corporate data is protected across various platforms, including Windows, iOS, Android, and macOS. Intune integrates with other Microsoft services, such as Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and Microsoft 365, providing a seamless experience for managing access to resources and enforcing compliance policies.


Key Features and Capabilities of Microsoft Intune:

1. Device Management

  • Enrollment: Intune supports the enrollment of corporate-owned and personal devices (BYOD), allowing administrators to manage these devices centrally.
  • Policy Enforcement: Administrators can create and deploy compliance policies to ensure devices meet security and regulatory standards. Configuration profiles can be used to set device settings, such as Wi-Fi, VPN, and email configurations.

2. Application Management

  • Application Deployment: Intune provides capabilities for deploying and managing applications, whether from the Microsoft Store for Business, the Apple App Store, Google Play, or custom line-of-business apps.
  • App Protection Policies: These policies help secure corporate data at the application level, protecting data in apps used for work without affecting personal apps. For example, administrators can restrict actions like copy and paste or save-as on protected data.

3. Security and Compliance

  • Conditional Access: Intune integrates with Azure AD to implement conditional access policies, controlling access to corporate resources based on conditions such as device compliance status or location.
  • Data Protection: Intune helps protect company data by enforcing encryption and other security measures.
