Endpoint management & devices
Endpoints are where modern security, identity and productivity actually meet the user. Intune, Autopilot, Entra and Defender for Endpoint together turn devices from a liability into a managed asset.
What it is
Microsoft's modern device and endpoint platform: cloud-managed configuration and compliance, zero-touch provisioning, identity-driven access, and endpoint security all integrated through Intune and Entra.
What's typically inside
- Intune for unified endpoint management
- Autopilot for zero-touch deployment
- Entra ID for identity and conditional access
- Defender for Endpoint
- Windows 11 and macOS management
- Mobile application management for BYOD

Working with a partner
The role of a managed support partner
An endpoint-savvy partner runs device lifecycle, configuration and access policy as a service - and keeps it tight as the workforce changes.
Diligence
Questions to ask any partner
- Q.What does day-one onboarding look like with Autopilot?
- Q.How do you handle leavers within the same hour?
- Q.How are policies kept current as Microsoft updates Intune?
- Q.What's your stance on personal vs corporate devices?
Watch out for
Common pitfalls
- Half-migrated estates with both Intune and legacy tools
- Conditional access policies that are too loose or too brittle
- No clear way to find or wipe a lost device
- BYOD policy in name only, with no real controls
