Managing corporate devices across multiple locations and operating systems can be a logistical headache. IT teams need a way to streamline setup, enforce security policies, and keep systems updated—without spending hours on manual configurations.
That’s where Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopilot come in. Together, these cloud-based solutions automate endpoint management, ensuring devices are secured and configured the moment they reach employees—whether they’re working in-office, remotely, or across a hybrid environment.
What Are Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopilot?
Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based endpoint management solution that centralizes device management across Windows, iOS, Android, and macOS. It enables organizations to enforce security policies, control application access, and ensure compliance with corporate and regulatory requirements without requiring on-premises infrastructure.
Windows Autopilot, on the other hand, is a collection of technologies designed to simplify the out-of-the-box experience for deploying new devices. Autopilot enables pre-configured setup, security policies, and application deployments to be applied automatically. This ensures devices are ready for use immediately, whether employees are in-office or remote.
In short, Intune manages and secures devices throughout their lifecycle, while Autopilot streamlines the initial setup and deployment of new devices.
Why Do Businesses Need Modern Endpoint Management?
68% of organizations have experienced at least one (1) endpoint attack that successfully compromised data and/or their IT infrastructure. With remote and hybrid workforces becoming the norm, businesses need a modern way to provision, secure, and maintain devices at scale.
Key Challenges of Legacy Device Management
Slow provisioning: IT teams spend hours imaging and setting up new devices, reducing efficiency.
Weak security enforcement: Without automation, enforcing compliance and security policies becomes difficult and unreliable.
High IT costs: Deploying and managing devices manually increases resource consumption and overall IT expenses.
Poor scalability: Traditional methods fail to support large-scale deployments or adapt to remote and hybrid work environments.
With Intune & Autopilot combined, these challenges are addressed through automation, policy-based management, and seamless cloud integration.
How Intune & Autopilot Improve Security
