The management of different devices that access organization resources become increasingly challenging as organizations move towards hybrid and remote workforces. Collaboration, working from anywhere, and connecting securely to these resources are necessary for employees and students. It is the responsibility of Admins to protect the information of the organization and manage end-user access as well as support users wherever they are located. Microsoft Intune will help to manage the company devices and applications.
Intune is a cloud-based endpoint management service from Microsoft. Using it, you can manage user access and simplify app and device management across multiple devices, including mobile devices, desktop computers, and virtual machines.
On both organization-owned and user-owned devices, you can protect access and data. Moreover, Intune supports a Zero Trust security model through compliance and reporting.
