Mobile Device Management Systems

Managing iOS devices in Microsoft Intune involves a series of steps to set up and configure Intune to control and secure these devices. Here's a high-level overview of the process: 1. **Set Up an Intune Account**: - If you haven't already, create an Intune account and sign in to the Intune portal. 2. **Add iOS Devices to Intune**: - You need to enroll iOS devices in Intune. There are multiple ways to do this, including: - **User Enrollment**: Users can enroll their devices by installing the Company Portal app from the App Store. - **Device Enrollment Program (DEP)**: Ideal for corporate-owned devices. DEP allows for automatic enrollment during device setup. - **Apple Automated Device Enrollment**: Similar to DEP, this program streamlines the enrollment of iOS devices. - **Manual Enrollment**: Users can manually enroll their devices by configuring settings. 3. **Create Device Configuration Profiles**: - Configure settings and restrictions for iOS devices by creating configuration profiles. These profiles can include settings for Wi-Fi, email, VPN, and more. 4. **Define Compliance Policies**: - Set up compliance policies to ensure that enrolled devices meet specific security and compliance requirements. If a device is non-compliant, you can take actions like blocking access to corporate resources. 5. **Create and Deploy Apps**: - Intune allows you to deploy apps to iOS devices. You can add apps from the App Store, Line-of-Business (LOB) apps, or even create and customize your own app packages. 6. **Implement Conditional Access Policies**: - Use Azure Conditional Access policies to enforce specific conditions for accessing corporate resources from iOS devices. For example, you can require multi-factor authentication or device compliance. 7. **Apply Security Baselines**: - Intune provides security baselines for iOS devices. These are predefined sets of security settings that can be applied to ensure a certain level of security on enrolled devices. 8. **Remote Management**: - Intune allows you to remotely manage iOS devices. You can perform actions like remote wipe, lock, reset passcodes, and more in case of lost or stolen devices. 9. **Monitor and Report**: - Regularly monitor the status of enrolled devices and access reports to ensure that devices are in compliance and secure. 10. **User Training and Support**: - Provide training and support to users, ensuring they understand the policies and security measures in place on their iOS devices. Remember that the specific steps and features available in Intune may evolve over time, so it's essential to refer to the official Microsoft documentation for the most up-to-date guidance on managing iOS devices with Microsoft Intune.

Organizations managing 500+ devices save up to 60% in IT workload. An FMCG company’s procurement manager walked into our office at QuickTech with a concern. “We want to upgrade to Apple devices, but managing hundreds of them seems like a nightmare.” They needed different setups for their sales and tech teams, pre-installed apps, security settings, and minimal IT intervention. Configuring each device manually wasn’t an option. That’s when we introduced them to Apple Business Manager (ABM) and Mobile Device Management (MDM). With Zero-Touch Deployment, their employees could receive a sealed Apple device, turn it on, and everything would be pre-configured, right from apps to security policies. "So, no manual setup? No IT headaches?" he asked. Here are three key features of Apple Business Manager (ABM), which we explained to him: 📍Zero-Touch Deployment – Devices arrive pre-configured and ready to use, with all apps and settings automatically installed. 📍Centralized Device Management – Manage and assign different profiles for sales, tech, or any team from a single platform. 📍Enhanced Security & Compliance – Enforce security policies, remotely wipe data, and ensure all devices stay updated. Today, their teams work seamlessly, and IT no longer spends hours setting up devices. If your business is confused about whether this setup would be helpful to you or not, let’s have a chat :)) #procurement #apple #procurementmanagers #quicktech #it #fmcg

Do you know During enrollment #Intune Install? 🤔 Intune installs a Mobile Device Management (MDM) certificate on the device. This certificate facilitates communication between the device and the Intune service, enabling the application of organizational policies, such as: ✓ Enrollment policies: Restrict the number or types of devices a user can enroll. ✓ Compliance policies: Ensure devices and users adhere to organizational rules. ✓ Configuration profiles: Set up work-appropriate features and settings on devices. * A diagram illustrating the enrollment process typically shows the device registering with Microsoft Entra ID, the creation of an object in Entra ID, and the deployment of the MDM certificate via Intune. Policy Deployment Policies are usually applied during the enrollment process. Depending on organizational roles, some groups may require stricter policies than others. Many organizations establish a baseline set of required policies and customize them further based on specific groups or use cases. Supported Platforms for Device Enrollment: Intune supports enrolling devices across the following platforms (specific version details can be found in the Supported operating systems guide): Android iOS/iPadOS Linux macOS Windows Enrollment is enabled for all platforms by default, but administrators can restrict specific platforms using Intune enrollment restriction policies. This guide outlines supported device scenarios, prerequisites for enrollment, guidance on using other MDM providers, and links to platform-specific enrollment resources. Supported Device Scenarios 2. Personal Devices In bring-your-own-device (BYOD) scenarios, employees or students can enroll their personal devices in Intune for work or school use. Supported enrollment methods allow users to use their devices securely while adhering to organizational policies. As an admin, you can Add users in the Microsoft Intune admin center. Configure their enrollment experience. Deploy policies through Intune. Users complete enrollment through the Intune Company Portal app. To decide if enrolling personal devices is appropriate for your organization, refer to the Intune planning guide: Personal devices vs. Organization-owned devices. #Intune : Devices registered with Microsoft Entra ID are automatically identified as personally owned. 2. Corporate-Owned Devices Intune offers enhanced settings and stricter policies for devices classified as corporate-owned. For instance, corporate-owned devices can enforce more stringent password requirements and advanced security configurations. Devices that meet specific criteria are automatically identified as corporate-owned by Intune. Learn more in the Identify devices. #Microsoft #Intune #Guide

🔐 MAM vs. MDM: Choosing the Right Mobile Management Approach 📱 💼 Are you struggling to decide between Mobile Application Management (MAM) and Mobile Device Management (MDM) for securing corporate data on mobile devices? 🤔 The right approach depends on device ownership, security needs, and business policies. ✔ MAM is the go-to for BYOD scenarios, ensuring company data is protected without managing the entire device. ✔ MDM is essential for corporate-owned devices, enforcing full control over security settings, app installations, and compliance. ✔ Hybrid Approach (MAM on top of MDM) offers granular control, balancing security and user experience. 💡 When MDM is a must: Enforcing device-wide security policies 🛡 Configuring WiFi, VPN, and compliance settings 🌐 Managing shared/kiosk devices 🏢 💡 When MAM is the only option: Users own the device (BYOD) 🔑 Protecting company apps without enforcing full device management 📲 Ensuring security for passwordless authentication & MFA 🔐 Choosing the right approach can be complex, but a well-planned strategy with Microsoft Intune helps ensure a secure and productive mobile workforce. ⚖ Read more about the best approach for your organization here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/ebXZrNmu Hi, I'm Kenneth van Surksum, and at Secure At Work, we help organizations implement best practices for managing Microsoft 365 environments securely, by supplying always up-to-date tenant configurations 🔐💼 #MicrosoftIntune #MDM #MAM #BYOD #CyberSecurity #MobileSecurity #ZeroTrust #Passwordless #Microsoft365

The world’s become more mobile-centric. Companies that use #GoogleWorkspace depend on workers accessing documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and chats from mobile devices to get work done. One #cloudnative company needed their Google Workspace instance accessible to mobile devices but also wanted training on the native #mobiledevicemanagement capabilities of Google Workspace. SADA, An Insight company was enlisted to provide six workshops to the company on the best practices for Mobile Device Management within Google Workspace. First, the company desired a #securityassessment of their implementation to ensure the security posture was up to date with best practices. SADA understood the importance of ensuring the security of the company’s Google Workspace tenant. That’s because over time security policies, standards, and technical challenges evolve, so the security posture of each business should be reviewed regularly for risk analysis and mitigation.  The security assessment and review provided recommendations to harden the company’s security posture. SADA identified the settings and processes to meet the company’s security requirements.  SADA’s workshops provided insight and best practices, with customer input, to understand organizational context/policies. Workshops covered:   • Mail settings and DNS  • Sharing policies for data loss prevention (DLP) • Identity/authentication controls (e.g., SSO, MFA, OAuth) • Endpoint management  • Groups management • Ongoing administration covering admin roles, audits, etc. The customer achieved significant results after working with SADA including: • Enhanced data security, streamlined compliance, and improved operational efficiency • Automated policy management and audit trails that simplify compliance with data regulations • Dynamic policy enforcement to enable faster data access and analysis • Cost savings from automation and reduced need for custom data security solutions #SADAservices
