How can Intune help with application protection policies?

Intune provides the ability to create application protection policies specifically designed to safeguard corporate data within applications. These policies help ensure that sensitive information remains secure, regardless of where it is accessed or by whom. By defining rules and settings, organizations can manage how data can be accessed, used, and shared within managed applications. For example, policies can restrict features like copy-paste, save-as, and the ability to open corporate data in personal apps, thereby minimizing the risk of data leakage and misuse.

This functionality is crucial in environments where employees use personal devices or when applications are used outside of the corporate network, allowing companies to maintain control over their data while enabling a flexible working style.

In contrast, the other options do not align with the core function of application protection policies. Allowing users to uninstall apps, automatically installing applications, or offering free apps does not contribute to data security or protect corporate information, which is the primary focus of application protection in Intune.
