Microsoft Intune
With companies shifting to a remote work environments device management security is more critical than ever before. Every company uses numerous computers, phones, and tablets which can be a full-time job to keep track of. Ensuring they are managed and secure is essential to keeping your data confidential. When data is transferred there are opportunities for hackers to intercept and steal valuable information. The continuous motion of data and the devices themselves provides many opportunities for them to be vulnerable. Tablets, laptops, and phones can be stolen or lost putting your company at risk. You can protect your company data and devices using Microsoft Intune.

Microsoft Intune is a MAM and MDM provider for your devices:
Mobile Application Management (MAM)
MAM is used for devices that are owned by your employees such as personal phones and laptops. It allows the administrator to protect and secure company-owned files while leaving your personal files alone. This restricts company data to approved apps such as office 365 email is kept in Outlook and Office 365 files are kept in OneDrive for Business. This allows employees to use their personal devices to work with out worrying IT is controlling it. If the personal device gets lost or stolen IT can simply wipe the corporate data preventing and security issues.
Mobile Device Management (MDM)
MDM is the best option if your employees work on company owned devices. Everything on the device can be centrally managed. This includes all app installations, restricting the function or usage, or even blocking recreational usage. Similarly to MAM, if the corporate device is ever lost, stolen, or damaged the administrator can simply wipe the corporate data or perform a full factory reset.

You can create permissions to access data based on their location, what apps they are using, or what time of day they are trying to access it.
