Intune MDM Registration Process – Step by Step Guide

We’re seeing the rapid advancements in technology and has evolved significantly in recent years. Mobile Device Management (MDM) allows management, security, monitoring for malware, distribution of apps and business data security. Administrators can manage, monitor and secure their mobile workforce remotely – all from a unified cloud-based dashboard. MDM provides a wide range of security, monitoring, integrating and managing not just in mobile devices – smartphones & tablets – but also laptops, desktops and even IoT devices in the workplace.

INTUNE Device Registration

Mobile device management (MDM) solution in Intune is a new foundation for device-based conditional access security enhancement. If you register your devices with Intune, its provide an identity that is used to authenticate when the user signs in and Azure AD is updated with additional information about the device. This allows you to create additional conditional access rules that enforce access from devices to meet your organizational security compliance standards. You can extend conditional access policies for applications for these authenticated devices for better control on what applications access are allowed in those devices.

Important:
