Managing a fleet of Macs in the enterprise with Intune: where to start
Enrollment, FileVault, firewall, forced updates, iCloud restrictions: the baseline for managing enterprise Macs with Microsoft Intune, explained simply.
Macs are gaining ground in the enterprise but often stay outside the security perimeter for lack of Apple expertise. Yet Intune manages macOS as well as Windows, provided you apply the right baseline.
The macOS baseline to deploy
- FileVault: disk encryption with key backup.
- Application firewall enabled, in stealth mode.
- Forced updates for critical patches.
- iCloud / AirDrop restrictions to compartmentalize work data.
- Compliance: minimum macOS version, Gatekeeper, SIP.
The difficulty isn't technical but one of translation: Apple settings carry obscure names and are spread across configuration profiles, Endpoint Protection and custom profiles.
AuPoint offers these macOS controls ready to use, in plain language, with the same flow as Windows: pick, preview the impact, deploy.
Connect your tenant and secure your Macs to the same level as your PCs.
