Exciting News: IGEL OS (Operating System) Now Supports Microsoft Intune!

We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our ongoing collaboration with Microsoft. IGEL, the leading provider of secure endpoint OS, has released added support for Microsoft Intune, enhancing the management and security of IGEL-powered devices. This development marks a new era of streamlined device management and robust security for enterprises leveraging the power of Microsoft solutions.

What’s New?

Enhanced Intune Support: This integration simplifies device management, providing a unified platform to oversee all endpoints. The new app also supports Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access, enabling enterprises to enforce stricter security policies and achieve greater compliance across their endpoint estate¹².

Improved Security and Compliance: The integration with Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access means that enterprises can now implement more granular security policies. This ensures that only compliant and secure devices can access corporate resources, significantly reducing the risk of security breaches¹.

Out of the box device default compliance policies are available to determine if a device meets your expected configuration and security requirements.

• OS Type
• Min OS Version
• Max OS Version

If you need additional options to determine if a device is compliant, Custom Compliance Policies can be created allowing you to produce comprehensive compliance checks.

e.g. Is the device managed by my organisations IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS), does the device have a specific version of a certificate or does the device have a certain application installed or all three!

A device’s compliance status allows organizations to make decisions on whether to allow or block access to your organization’s resources from that device.

Additional components: For Intune to enrol a device a required component is Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL). Microsoft Edge allows the Intune Agent access to MSAL and will need to be installed alongside the Intune Agent.

Microsoft Edge is now available in the IGEL App Portal. https://app.igel.com

Streamlined Device Management: Managing IGEL-powered devices has never been easier. From an asset management standpoint organizations will have visibility of their estates including desktops, laptops, tablets and IGEL OS devices.

Why This Matters

In today’s hybrid work environment, the ability to manage and secure endpoints efficiently is crucial. The enhanced support for Microsoft Intune not only simplifies device management but also strengthens security, ensuring that enterprises can protect their data and maintain compliance with industry standards.

This development is particularly beneficial for industries with stringent security requirements, such as healthcare, finance, and government. By leveraging the combined power of IGEL OS and Microsoft Intune, organizations can enhance their security posture while providing a seamless user experience for their employees.

Looking Ahead

Our collaboration with Microsoft is a testament to our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers. We are excited about the possibilities that this new integration brings and look forward to continuing our partnership with Microsoft to deliver even more value to our users.

Stay tuned for more updates and innovations as we continue to enhance our solutions to support the modern, hybrid workforce.
