How does Intune help organizations manage device compliance?

Intune plays a pivotal role in managing device compliance through its capability to offer visibility into certificate issuance and compliance. This feature ensures that organizations can monitor the status of devices regarding their compliance with corporate policies and security standards. By providing insights into whether devices are adhering to set compliance criteria, Intune enables administrators to enforce policies effectively and take necessary actions on non-compliant devices.

This visibility also extends to understanding which devices have valid security certificates, which are often crucial for secure communications within an organization. Therefore, organizations can maintain a secure and compliant device ecosystem, minimizing the risks associated with non-compliant devices.

In contrast, while automating software installations, providing encryption options, and reducing network configuration errors are valuable functionalities, they do not directly pertain to the core task of managing compliance in the same way that visibility into certificate issuance does. These other functionalities support overall device management but do not directly monitor or enforce compliance with device policies.
