# 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.
