Intune

Microsoft's cloud endpoint management service for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android devices.

Microsoft Intune is the cloud endpoint management service in Microsoft 365. It enrolls and configures Windows 10/11, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Android devices, pushes apps and Wi-Fi/VPN/certificate profiles, evaluates compliance, and feeds that compliance signal into Entra ID Conditional Access. Beyond traditional mobile device management (MDM) for corporate-owned devices, Intune also supports mobile application management (MAM) for personal devices — protecting corporate data inside specific apps without managing the device itself. Intune is included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium, E3, E5, and F3, and is the cornerstone of Microsoft's zero-trust device posture story.
