Intune, MDM and MAM, compliance policies, Autopilot, and Defender for Endpoint across Windows, macOS, and mobile.
The March 2026 Stryker breach wiped 80,000 devices through one compromised admin and Intune's own remote wipe. Multi Admin Approval, PIM, and break glass governance close that hole.
Autopilot Device Preparation drops the hardware hash, sequences apps properly, and cut a 30-minute deployment to 10 in our test. But V1 still wins for hybrid join and white glove.
One reused local admin password turns a single infected laptop into a fleet-wide incident. Here is how to deploy Windows LAPS through Intune, step by step.
Windows Autopilot turns 2 to 5 hours of manual device setup into a 30 to 60 minute out-of-box experience nobody in IT touches. Here is the full configuration.
Attack Surface Reduction rules block the macros and scripts antivirus misses, and a careless rollout blocks payroll too. The Intune deployment sequence that gets you to Block mode safely.
EDR cannot save a workstation running an exploitable app version. Here is the full Intune Win32 workflow for deploying and updating third-party software at scale.
Defender for Endpoint scans macOS devices around the clock, but only after ABM, Intune profiles, and an onboarding package are in place. Here is the rollout order.
Defender for Business ships 24/7 vulnerability scanning with Business Premium. How to onboard devices, read the exposure score, and run an approve-remove-patch SOP.
Most businesses cannot produce an accurate application inventory, and the Microsoft 365 defaults make it worse. Here is the layered plan for CIS Control 2, from OAuth consent to ASR rules.
Users refuse enrollment, admins refuse open access. Intune app protection policies plus one Conditional Access rule protect Microsoft 365 data on personal phones without managing the device.
Ignite 2024 buried real news under Copilot branding. The 20 announcements that matter, grouped: agents, Copilot+ PCs, Windows 365, Windows resiliency and security, Edge, and Lighthouse.
Entra lets any user register any device by default, and attackers use that to persist after a compromise. Three policies, from MFA on registration to TAP gating, shut the door.
