Restrict or block user access based on risk, location, device information, apps, and other user behaviors with Conditional Access.

5 | Set up Mobile Device Management.

Deploy Intune to manage and secure company and employee-owned devices (BYOD).

6 | Manage mobile apps.

Deploy Intune App protection policies on all devices in Intune to control how data is used in mobile apps.

7 | Discover Shadow IT.

Discover apps in use, assess risk, identify vulnerabilities, and take action with Microsoft Cloud App Security.

Configure Azure Information Protection policies to classify, label, and encrypt documents and email. Then configure Office Advanced Threat Protection to protect your email against all known and unknown malicious links and malware.
