The digital world is becoming increasingly complex, and it’s interesting to consider how many different devices an IT organization must manage within an average company. Corporate laptops, employees’ phones, tablets—all running on different operating systems. How can all this be monitored, secured, and kept compliant with data protection regulations? In episode 20 of season 2 of the DIG-IT Podcast, we explored this topic further for those who prefer to listen rather than read.
Maintaining security also requires a new level of effort as consumer habits change. One of the biggest challenges for companies is how to protect their systems while ensuring operational efficiency and a seamless user experience. Which manufacturer provides a solution that serves as a cornerstone of modern IT management? How can organizations comply with regulations such as NIS2 while facing daily cyber threats? In this context, Microsoft Intune offers solutions that not only manage corporate devices but also ensure their security and compliance.
When an employee logs into a corporate application, Intune immediately checks whether the device is up to date, has the required security measures, and complies with organizational policies. A key aspect of these regulations is preventing data loss and leakage while ensuring secure data management. Data protection is more than a technical issue today—it’s the foundation of trust in companies. One of the biggest advantages of Intune is that it separates personal and corporate data. Think about how often someone accidentally transfers sensitive company data onto an unsecured personal device.
But what happens when a device does not meet security standards? How can access be controlled and restricted? How can potential security risks be reduced? The most common scenario is when someone loses their phone. Using Intune, the IT department can remotely wipe corporate data from the device while leaving personal files untouched. This solution serves both corporate security and user privacy. Compliance with NIS2, securing employee devices, and promoting sustainability help companies stay one step ahead of security threats whenever possible.
Since no discussion is complete without AI, let’s explore its role in this context. How can AI enhance security efficiency? (This is probably one of the most common questions experts ask me.) Typically, an AI-powered solution can analyze incoming threats, identifying suspicious behavioral patterns and alerting the IT team before the problem causes serious damage. With hundreds of devices in use, thousands of security events occur daily. Whether it’s the cyber defense team or the IBF (and not just for NIS2 compliance), these incidents must be handled. AI helps filter out the most critical threats, allowing IT teams to respond quickly and effectively.
From an HR perspective, it’s important to note that repetitive tasks are a leading cause of burnout.
I have often written about IT financial returns, emphasizing how reducing the time spent on troubleshooting can result in significant cost savings. Indirectly, AI even contributes to corporate sustainability. Some might interpret this as a benefit of cloud-based technology, which minimizes the need for physical infrastructure, thus reducing energy consumption and environmental impact—a key focus of ESG initiatives. However, that’s not the point I’m making here.
Microsoft Intune offers a comprehensive strategic solution to modern cybersecurity challenges. This technology not only enhances corporate security but also elevates efficiency and trust while supporting the sustainability of digital transformation.
