Unified Management for At-Home Workers
Microsoft has renamed and rebundled its endpoint management products under the name Microsoft Endpoint Manager, which encompasses Intune for cloud management of mobile and remote endpoints and Configuration Manager for managing on-premises endpoints. Endpoint Manager offers a unified platform for protecting critical information by controlling on-premises, mobile, and at-home endpoints.

Microsoft Intune
Intune is part of Microsoft's Endpoint Management family that also includes Configuration Manager. Intune is a cloud-based service for managing and securing remote devices and applications. Remote endpoint computers can be personally owned or company owned. IT administrators managing the enrolled endpoint computers of at-home workers can utilize Intune to provision and validate apps on managed devices, push patches and certificates, configure rules for accessing information and networks, manage passwords, create VPN connections, determine how teleworkers share data, set up threat defense, ensure security compliance, and wipe sensitive data from missing, stolen or decommissioned devices. Intune runs with iOS, Google Android, Windows, and macOS computers. For information about Microsoft Intune and to find out how Progent can help your company to use this platform to manage the endpoint devices of your at-home workforce, see Intune remote endpoint management experts.
