Microsoft has launched its Intune Suite, an advanced endpoint management and security solution that brings together a range of essential features into one package. The new suite simplifies endpoint management, increases security, and provides exceptional user experiences.
By unifying Microsoft Security and Microsoft 365, the Intune Suite utilizes data science and AI to improve automation and enable IT and security teams to move from reactive to proactive in addressing endpoint management and other security challenges.
In a recent survey, Microsoft found that two-thirds of respondents used more than ten tools to manage and protect their digital estate, indicating the need for organizations to reduce complexity.
“The 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.”

Intune Suite Capabilities
The Intune Suite offers a range of capabilities, including Remote Help, Endpoint Privilege Management, advanced endpoint analytics, Microsoft Tunnel for Mobile App Management, and advanced app management, with cloud certificate management to be added later in the year. Intune also offers better security, simplification through consolidation and automation, and savings through lower management overhead and reduced support costs.
According to Microsoft, Over half of organizations lack visibility and control over at least a quarter of their endpoints, with only 43 percent of endpoint management and security professionals saying that their organization manages more than three-quarters of their endpoints.
Additionally, a low percentage of organizations use patch management and Endpoint Privilege Management, with only 37 percent and 39 percent implementing these tools, respectively.
Enhanced Security Integration
Microsoft Intune Suite’s tight integration is seen as a crucial step towards improving endpoint security, according to a recent survey by the company. Respondents have identified integration as the top factor to improve endpoint security, highlighting that the Intune Suite offers integration across various components, Microsoft 365, and other Microsoft Security assets, minimizing attack surfaces. Microsoft has recognized the value of creating an integrated portfolio and is committed to providing end-to-end value for users, IT, and security operations with the Intune Suite.
