Cyberattacks are a serious threat to any organization, especially in the era of remote work and cloud computing. Hackers can exploit vulnerabilities in your devices, networks, and data to steal sensitive information, disrupt your operations, or damage your reputation. That’s why you need a robust and reliable solution to protect your devices and data from cyberattacks.

One of the best solutions available is Intune, a cloud-based service that helps you manage and secure your devices, apps, and data. Intune is part of the Microsoft 365 suite, which means it integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft products and services. With Intune, you can:

• Enforce security policies and compliance settings on your devices, such as passwords, encryption, firewall, antivirus, and updates.
• Remotely wipe or lock your devices in case of loss, theft, or compromise.
• Deploy and update apps and software on your devices, including Microsoft 365 apps and third-party apps.
• Monitor and audit your devices and data for potential risks and incidents.
• Provide a consistent and secure user experience across different devices and platforms.

How to use Intune to secure your devices and data

Once you have set up Intune, you can use it to secure your devices and data from cyberattacks. Here are some of the key features and benefits of Intune:

• Device compliance: You can use Intune to check if your devices meet the security standards and requirements you have defined in your device profiles. If a device is not compliant, you can take actions such as blocking access, sending notifications, or initiating remediation.
• Device encryption: You can use Intune to encrypt your devices and data, either with BitLocker for Windows devices or FileVault for Mac devices. Encryption helps prevent unauthorized access to your data in case of loss, theft, or compromise.
• Device firewall: You can use Intune to enable and configure the firewall on your devices, which helps block unwanted network traffic and prevent malicious attacks.
• Device antivirus: You can use Intune to enable and manage the antivirus software on your devices, such as Windows Defender or Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Antivirus software helps detect and remove malware and other threats from your devices.
• Device updates: You can use Intune to manage the updates for your devices, such as Windows updates or app updates. Updates help keep your devices and apps secure and up to date with the latest features and fixes.
• Device wipe or lock: You can use Intune to remotely wipe or lock your devices in case of loss, theft, or compromise. Wiping a device erases all the data and settings from the device, while locking a device prevents anyone from using it until you unlock it.
• Data loss prevention: You can use Intune to prevent data loss or leakage from your devices and apps, such as by restricting copy-paste, screen capture, printing, or saving to external storage.
