App Protection policies should be created for mobile devices

Description

Leveraging the mobile application management (MAM) features of Microsoft Intune, app protection policies can be created so that users can access corporate applications on mobile devices securely, without having to enroll that device into the MDM solution. These settings allow you to place additional protection on applications such as requiring a pin or preventing cut, copy, and paste to unmanaged applications. App protection policies should be configured for iOS and Android devices.

Policy

  • App protection policies are configured for iOS and Android devices

Licensing Considerations

Any tenant with Intune licensing can access this setting.

End-User Impact

Level: Medium

When users go to access corporate data on a managed application like Outlook, they will receive a prompt that the devices is under corporate management. Depending on what settings are configured in the policy they might also have to a take additional action such as setting up an application pin.

Tips

• Do not configure this setting for all apps on the device. The recommended setting is to configure all Microsoft Apps.
