What Intune Actually Controls
Intune sits between your Microsoft 365 tenant and every device that touches company data. It is not antivirus and it is not a helpdesk tool. It decides which devices are allowed in, what state they have to be in, and what happens when they fall out of that state.
- 01Device enrolment for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, so a new starter's laptop configures itself instead of being built by hand
- 02Compliance policies: disk encryption, minimum OS version, screen lock, jailbreak and root detection
- 03App deployment and updates pushed centrally, including line-of-business apps that never went near a public store
- 04Configuration profiles for Wi-Fi, VPN and certificates, so users never type a shared key
- 05Selective wipe that removes company data from a personal phone without touching personal photos
