Microsoft Intune has played a crucial role in enabling remote work for our facilities under our BYOD policy. It has been essential for our success. Consolidating all our endpoint security management tools into a single platform significantly improves our IT and security operations. This streamlined approach provides us with the advantage of using only one reporting stack, and it yields synergies that surpass the capabilities of individual solutions from separate vendors. Integrating Intune with other Microsoft services has streamlined authentication through single sign-on. We're now transitioning to passwordless authentication for enhanced security and convenience within our unified environment. Last week, for example, someone traveling to China had their laptop stolen. Fortunately, thanks to Intune, we were able to remotely wipe the device, protecting their data. The incident reporting and analytics tools enable us to monitor our devices' compliance status near-continuously. As licensed customs brokers subject to Department of Homeland Security inspections, this allows us to generate reports quickly and efficiently, reducing inspection time from thirty minutes to three to four minutes. Intune gives us full visibility into our devices and IT control across all platforms. This has significantly streamlined our management process. Previously, two people in our ten-person department spent their entire time monitoring platforms and fixing issues. Now, only one person devotes 75 percent of their time to these tasks. This means we're accomplishing more with fewer people and less time overall. It's great, but the issue with any platform like it is the delay between deploying something and it rolling out remotely. However, it's probably the best option available in terms of keeping us informed about what's happening outside our server room or hosting environment. Microsoft Intune has been instrumental in securing our hybrid work environment and protecting data on company-owned devices (BYOD). Before Intune, if someone lost their phone, wiping it meant erasing all their personal data - photos, documents, everything. Today, with Intune, we can selectively remove only our applications and data. This allows users to recover a lost phone and restore their personal information. Intune empowers us to be more proactive, eliminating the worry of accidentally wiping a misplaced device. Microsoft Security Signals has become an invaluable addition because it provides centralized reporting capabilities. This one-pane-of-glass view empowers us to easily communicate our security posture internally to management and externally to regulatory agencies and auditors. I'm impressed with the Intune endpoint privilege management feature. It's allowed us to reduce even the admin team's permissions significantly. Now, they typically lack access to most things, but the system elevates their privileges just in time for them to complete specific tasks and then demotes them again afterward. This least-privilege approach has been fantastic, and the built-in integration across the entire Microsoft stack is a major advantage. It saves us the hassle of purchasing and integrating a separate solution – it's simply there and works seamlessly. Implementing least privilege access through Endpoint Privilege Management has significantly improved our organization's attack surface. For example, our Microsoft Secure Score was around 60 percent before adopting the solution, and it's now up to 98 percent. This reduction in the attack surface has also enabled us to implement various remediation measures and establish context-based security. For instance, even if users enter the correct password and complete two-factor authentication, we can require additional authentication if they log in from an unfamiliar location, such as a new country or state. This multi-layered approach provides us with an enhanced sense of security. Intune has helped reduce the risk of security breaches in our organization. We had another deployment solution for Apple iOS and Mac devices. Additionally, we also managed a few Linux boxes with an unsupported management architecture. We were able to migrate all of those devices to Intune. Intune has helped consolidate vendors.
