Security

We know that there is no native configuration for AppLocker in Intune, and we should be looking at App Control for Business already, but there is still a place for AppLocker, and I haven’t got time to manually do anything, so let’s use PowerShell to create out AppLocker policies from exported XML files.

You’d think creating Defender antivirus scan schedules should be pretty easy, even if the devices you’re working with are running macOS. Why are we having to create mobileconfig files for this in Microsoft Intune? Surely we can make this a little better?

Fancy letting your end users select what day of the week they get their device updates allowing them to be truly empowered but still ensure a level of device security, sure you do.

This is the last part in the series around the CIS (Center for Internet Security) benchmark for Windows 11, and we’d like to say that we’ve saved the best post for last, but we’d be lying. Surely the Level 2 settings can’t be worse than the Level 1?

When did Microsoft go all covert ops (maybe don’t answer that question) and start making changes to your very own Firewall Rule policies in Microsoft Intune without letting anyone know? Or did they?

The impact of the CIS settings on BitLocker and Windows Autopilot now done and dusted, we should broaden our horizons and start to look at what other problems the CIS level 1 benchmark brings to Windows 11 as a whole. Are there any? Will it be smooth sailing? Yeah, no.

With the CIS BitLocker and associated DMA settings reviewed and updated, now is time to delve into the Windows 11 specific settings that exist in the CIS Level 1 benchmark. What issues do they bring to Windows Autopilot, what solutions can we find? Honestly, who knows.

Everyone loves a security benchmark, and with the imminent move to Windows 11 for everyone, the Center for Internet Security released version 3.0.1 of theirs, including a build kit for Microsoft Intune, but what does this build kit break for BitLocker encryption?

With all the hype about Platform SSO on macOS devices, now is the time to try out not just the standard functionality, but the integration into web browsers such as Google Chrome. We take a look at how to configure this using Microsoft Intune.
