Endpoint Management using Microsoft Intune

Overview:

Doing More with Less means maximizing the impact of Microsoft 365 solutions while simplifying licensing, management, and vendor landscapes. Our solution aims to enable modern management of company devices and data, enhance control over company-owned devices, and securely enable Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) scenarios to access company resources. At Ridge IT, we help our customers increase their return on their Microsoft 365 investment and lower the total cost of ownership of their IT solution portfolio. We do this by helping our clients identify cost savings while also realizing additional value through a three-phase approach:

• Eliminate redundant solutions: Consolidating to a single vendor can cascade cost savings throughout your organization. Microsoft 365 includes many capabilities for which you are likely already paying other IT vendors.
• Reduce management costs by simplifying IT management: When you have an integrated solution, you can optimize the time of your IT department. A simplified IT environment with Microsoft 365 automates labor-intensive tasks and frees up previously assigned IT and Security admins to transition to higher-value activities.
• Protects the digital worker: Security enhancements are not limited to vendor consolidation and reduction in IT management. Microsoft 365 Defender helps organizations enhance their security stack – realizing cost savings from having fewer security breaches and improved identity – further establishing a foundation for your Zero Trust strategy.

Underlying the core cost savings areas, we have the outcomes that our clients can expect to improve in their organization. This workshop will bring these ideas to life and help you understand how Microsoft 365 consolidation can impact your organization.

What We Do:

• Discover a seamless deployment process as we gather crucial information from you. We're excited to understand your priorities, initiatives, and factors driving your endpoint management and identity protection strategy.
• Simplify device management and safeguard company data with Microsoft Intune. We offer comprehensive support for the entire device lifecycle while Microsoft 365 Defender provides protection for your data, identities, and devices.
• Safeguard your system with our foolproof plan, implement a secure compliance policy, and ensure your system's and its users' safety.

Our Approach:

• Assess: We'll delve into the Microsoft Intune implementation plan and gather your crucial information to ensure a smooth and successful deployment. We're eager to learn about your unique priorities, initiatives, and key influences in your endpoint management and identity protection strategy. Our assessment process involves interactive discussions to better understand your current security estate. With the help of the Microsoft Secure Score, we can assess your security posture, share best practices, and provide context for each recommendation.
• Art of the Possible: Are you seeking to streamline device management and enhance company data security? Look to Microsoft Intune's auto-enrollment. In this pilot, 5-7 client-specified devices will undergo autoenrollment, including hybrid-joined devices. We'll configure Group Policy Objects for hybrid auto-enrollment and create configuration profiles for Windows, Apple iOS, Android, and macOS, ensuring secure access to company data. Additionally, Windows Update Rings keep devices consistently up-to-date and secure.
• Build the Plan: As part of the overall compliance policy for Windows 11 devices, it is essential to address the application deployment and management issues. The team will work to configure and create installation packages for up to five apps, which will be identified during the kickoff call. Developing and implementing a comprehensive compliance policy for application deployment and management will ensure the safety and security of the system for all users.

Outcomes:

• Improve your Microsoft Secure Score with Microsoft Intune.
• Learn how to build management policies that protect your users, company data, and devices.
• Gain insights about your users, endpoints, and compliance with Microsoft Intune.
• Determine the best way to give your users access to the apps they need on their chosen devices.
