Managing High-Security Devices with Microsoft Intune
In recent years, organizations worldwide have embraced approaches like Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to enhance productivity, reduce hardware costs, and streamline operations. However, this shift has introduced new management challenges, making it crucial for organizations to have an effective device management solution in place.
Managing devices, including laptops, tablets, mobile phones, wearables, and other gadgets used within an organization, can be a complex task.
This article will provide insights into how to effectively manage high-security devices using Microsoft Intune, a cloud-based mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM) solution.
Why Choose Microsoft Intune for MDM and MAM?
Microsoft Intune stands out as a cloud-based solution for managing devices by implementing policies and security measures. The advantages of using Intune are numerous, making it an ideal choice for device management. It seamlessly integrates with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), offering a centralized location for endpoint management and policy configuration via the Microsoft Intune admin center.
Intune: A Comprehensive Mobile Device Management Solution
Many organizations allow employees to use their personally owned devices to access company resources, ranging from email to meetings.
To maintain data security and device integrity, Intune leverages Azure AD, ensuring that personal devices are enrolled in the organization’s device management services. This approach empowers administrators to deploy policies, configure device features, and enforce rules, among other capabilities.
Another option is to employ app protection policies to safeguard app data, including applications like Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint. A combination of device enrollment and app protection policies can also be utilized.
For devices owned by the organization, it is recommended to exercise complete management, incorporating policies that enforce rules and protect data.

Managing Existing and New Devices with Intune
Intune provides support for various operating systems, including Android, iOS, iPad OS, Linux, macOS, and Windows devices. Microsoft recommends adopting a cloud-based approach when implementing Intune for new devices.
Deploying Intune – Step by Step Recommendations
- Check Device Compliance: Ensure that your devices meet compliance standards.
- Control Device Features: Assign policies to device groups to manage their functionality.
- Secure Your Devices: Implement protection configurations based on your organization’s specific needs. These configurations range from minimum protection and configuration (Level 1) to enhanced protection and configuration (Level 2) and high protection and configuration (Level 3). These configurations can include password requirements, data encryption, and app protection policies.
With the growing use of mobile devices for work, it is crucial for organizations to establish protection configurations to safeguard their devices and sensitive information. Microsoft Intune offers a robust solution for achieving this goal.
