Today marks a significant shift in endpoint management and security. We’re launching the Microsoft Intune Suite<\/strong><\/a>, which unifies mission-critical advanced endpoint management and security solutions into one simple bundle. The new Intune Suite can simplify our customers\u2019 endpoint management experience, improve their security posture, and keep people at the center with exceptional user experiences. Microsoft Security and Microsoft 365 deeply integrated with the Intune Suite will empower IT and security teams with data science and AI to increase automation, helping them move simply and quickly from reactive to proactive in addressing endpoint management and other security challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Microsoft Intune is an industry-leading, unified endpoint management solution that organizations depend on to ensure their devices, operating systems, and apps are up-to-date, protected, and performant. Yet evolving work habits and security threats, tougher economic climate, and growing diversity of devices mean that organizations need more help in reducing complexity. Consider this: in a recent survey, two-thirds of respondents were using more than ten tools to manage and protect their digital estate.1<\/sup> More individual tools mean more management overhead, more attack surface, and more licensing costs\u2014all things organizations need to reduce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this blog, I want to share three reasons why the new Intune Suite will matter to you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ll also share some results from our latest survey of nearly four hundred endpoint management and security professionals, which will provide additional context for this new offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, let\u2019s review what capabilities the Intune Suite offers. These important capabilities have been in development for a while, and you may recall we announced our plans at Microsoft Ignite 2022<\/a> to launch the Intune Suite in March 2023 with an initial set of advanced solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, why is this important for you now? It goes back to better security, simplification, and savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if IT and security organizations are becoming accustomed to supporting and protecting remote and hybrid work, our surveys show there is still much work to be done to improve enterprise endpoint security. Only 43 percent of endpoint management and security professionals said that their organization actively manages more than three-quarters of their endpoints.1<\/sup> Put another way, 57 percent of organizations do not have visibility or control over a quarter of their endpoints or more. Further, only 37 percent of organizations use patch management, and only 39 percent use Endpoint Privilege Management. As such, there is clearly an opportunity to increase the breadth of devices organizations can manage to have a more complete view of the health and performance of their digital estate. There is also an opportunity to improve the depth of protection offered through more Endpoint Privilege Management and more regular patch updates. This basic \u201ccyber hygiene\u201d is core to the way the suite improves security and is foundational before any Zero Trust<\/a> initiative can really gain traction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Security professionals see tighter product integration as a key step. When asked in our survey how they could improve their organization\u2019s endpoint security, \u201cintegration\u201d was the top answer. The Intune Suite delivers integration on multiple levels: between the various Intune Suite components, with Microsoft 365, and with other Microsoft Security assets. Better integration means fewer vulnerable spots that could be attacked. Microsoft has learned to be intentional about creating integrated value across its portfolio and with the Intune Suite, we are committed to continue building end-to-end value for users, IT, and security operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One extra advantage of using a single vendor for more of your endpoint security needs is that there is one single dataset rather than multiple disparate streams of data. Uniform, consistent data means better security analytics and visibility to potential vulnerabilities and anomalies. You can\u2019t mitigate what you can\u2019t see. Bringing together the data and actionable insights in one place increases your ability to assess, manage, and act on potential risks across your device landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Microsoft Intune Suite is going to help us consolidate our endpoint management solutions, saving costs, making our lives easier, and keeping the hospital data secure. I would highly recommend the Microsoft Intune Suite to any organization looking to enhance their security posture<\/em>.\u201d\u2014Ibrar Mahmood<\/a>, IT Cyber Security Manager, Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n
