How does Microsoft Intune work?

Microsoft Intune is a service that allows you to remotely manage mobile devices and mobile applications. One of the main benefits of Intune is that it allows you to work productively on the move by eliminating security gaps.

Define rules and configure policies for a range of devices, whether personal or organizationally owned. This means your business can enforce a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy without worrying about security.
Deploy apps to mobile devices from anywhere and across multiple devices simultaneously. For example, you can deploy apps like Teams, Word, and Outlook to managed devices using Intune.
Control user and device access. Protect your organization’s data by controlling what information users can access and share.
Make sure the devices your team members use comply with your security requirements. If the devices aren’t compliant, you can troubleshoot the issue.
