Advanced App Management for macOS
Managing macOS devices has traditionally been a bit of a headache for many of our clients. We’ve seen firsthand how cumbersome it can be to keep apps updated and licenses in order. With Intune’s new advanced app management features, those days are over. Now, IT teams can automate app updates and streamline deployments, making it much easier to keep macOS devices secure and up-to-date. This is a huge win for organizations that rely on a mix of operating systems.

One of the biggest challenges our clients face is managing a diverse array of devices across their networks. We know how difficult it can be to get a clear picture of device health and compliance. That’s why we’re particularly excited about the new Unified Endpoint Analytics dashboard. This tool brings all your device data into one place, making it easier to identify issues and optimize your management strategy. It’s a powerful resource that will help IT teams stay on top of their game.

New Security Baseline for Windows 11
We’ve seen the challenges that come with keeping up with the latest security practices, especially as new operating systems like Windows 11 are adopted. Microsoft’s new security baseline for Windows 11 simplifies this process by providing a ready-made configuration that aligns with the best practices. This baseline helps organizations quickly implement robust security measures, reducing vulnerabilities and ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Android Device Administrator Deprecation Reminder
We’ve been closely monitoring the upcoming deprecation of Android Device Administrator (ADA) support, and we know how important it is for organizations to transition to Android Enterprise. The enhanced security features and better integration with Intune make Android Enterprise a far superior option. If your organization is still using ADA, now is the time to make the switch. We’ve helped many clients through this transition, and we can ensure it’s a smooth process for you too.
