In this article, you will understand step by step how to easily integrate with Microsoft Intune
Integrating with Microsoft Intune allows you to implement and manage policy configurations on all your operating systems and track all the devices in the organization.

This will provide more assurance to the logical access criteria to provide the auditors with the assurance that endpoints are being managed effectively.
