Unified Management for Remote Workers
Microsoft has renamed and reshuffled its endpoint management platforms under the title Microsoft Endpoint Manager, which includes Intune for cloud management of remote devices and Configuration Manager for managing on-premises endpoints. Endpoint Manager features a centralized solution for safeguarding critical data by managing onsite, mobile, and at-home endpoints.
Microsoft Intune
Intune is part of Microsoft's Endpoint Management family that also includes Microsoft Configuration Manager. Intune is a cloud service for managing and securing off-premises devices and software. Managed endpoint devices can be user owned or company owned. IT administrators managing the enrolled endpoint computers of telecommuters can utilize Intune to provision and validate applications on managed devices, push patches and certificates, configure policies for permission to access information and networks, set passwords, create VPN connections, determine how home-based workers share data, set up threat defense, ensure security compliance, and wipe sensitive data from missing, stolen or decommissioned endpoint devices. Intune works with iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS devices. To learn about Intune and to find out how Progent can help your company to use this platform to administer the endpoint devices of your at-home workers, refer to Intune remote device management expertise.
