IGEL, the leading provider of secure endpoint OS, has now added additional support for Microsoft Intune.
This improves both the management and security of IGEL devices, marking a new step for companies using Microsoft solutions. 🚀
What’s new?
- Enhanced Intune Support: This integration simplifies device management by allowing all endpoints to be managed on a single platform.
🌐 In addition, the new app supports Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access, which allows businesses to maintain tighter security measures and meet compliance requirements.
- Improved security and compliance: Integration with Microsoft Entra ID now allows companies to apply more detailed security rules. This ensures that only secure and compliant devices can access corporate data, significantly reducing the risk of security incidents. 🔐
Key features:
- Standard compliance policies: Out-of-the-box compliance policies are available to verify that a device meets expected configuration and security requirements, such as:
- Operating system version 📲
- Password policy 🔑
- Encryption 🔐
- Custom compliance policies: Need more control?
Create custom policies for more extensive compliance checks.
Consider questions such as:
- Is the device being managed by the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS)?
- Does the device have a particular version of a certificate?
- Is a specific application installed?
Based on compliance status, an organization can decide to allow or block access to corporate resources.
- Additional components: Registering a device with Intune requires the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL).
The Intune Agent can access MSAL through Microsoft Edge, which is now available in the IGEL App Portal. 📥
