At UserCompute, we recognise that robust device enrolment and identity management are foundational to a secure and efficient IT environment. By integrating Microsoft Intune with Microsoft Entra ID, we ensure that your organisation’s devices are securely enrolled and managed, providing seamless access while safeguarding sensitive data.
Identity as the Foundation of Security
In today’s digital landscape, identity is the new perimeter. Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) serves as the cornerstone of your organisation’s security strategy, enabling secure access to resources both on-premises and in the cloud. By establishing a unified identity platform, we ensure that only authorised users and devices can access corporate resources, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorised access and potential breaches.
Enrolment Options: Company Portal, Apple DEP, Android Enterprise
UserCompute offers a range of enrolment options to suit various device types and organisational needs:
Company Portal: Ideal for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) scenarios, the Company Portal app allows users to enrol their personal devices securely, granting them access to corporate resources while maintaining privacy.
Apple Automated Device Enrolment (ADE): Through Apple’s Device Enrolment Program (DEP), we can streamline the enrolment of corporate-owned iOS/iPadOS devices, ensuring they are automatically configured with the necessary policies and applications upon activation.
Android Enterprise: For Android devices, we support various enrolment methods, including Corporate-Owned Business Only (COBO), Corporate-Owned, Personally Enabled (COPE), and Personally Owned with a Work Profile (BYOD), allowing us to tailor the enrolment process to your organisation’s requirements.
By leveraging these enrolment methods, UserCompute ensures that devices are securely onboarded, compliant with organisational policies, and ready for use.
Integration with Microsoft Entra ID
Seamless integration between Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Entra ID enables a unified approach to identity and device management. This integration allows for:
Conditional Access: Implement policies that grant or block access to resources based on user, device, and location conditions.
Single Sign-On (SSO): Provide users with a seamless authentication experience across cloud and on-premises applications.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Enhance security by requiring additional verification methods during the sign-in process.
UserCompute ensures that your organisation’s identity and device management systems are fully integrated, providing a cohesive and secure environment.
Hybrid vs. Cloud-Only Identity Approaches
Organisations can choose between hybrid and cloud-only identity models based on their infrastructure and security requirements:
Hybrid Identity: Integrates on-premises Active Directory with Microsoft Entra ID using Azure AD Connect. This approach is suitable for organisations with existing on-premises infrastructure that require synchronisation between cloud and on-premises resources.
Cloud-Only Identity: Utilises Microsoft Entra ID exclusively for identity management, eliminating the need for on-premises infrastructure. This model is ideal for organisations looking to modernise their IT environment and reduce on-premises dependencies.
UserCompute collaborates with your organisation to assess your current infrastructure and determine the most suitable identity model, ensuring a secure and efficient setup.
Securing Identities with MFA and Passwordless Sign-In
To enhance security and user experience, UserCompute implements:
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Requires users to provide two or more verification methods—something they know (password), something they have (security token), or something they are (biometric verification)—to access resources.
Passwordless Sign-In: Utilises methods such as Windows Hello for Business, Microsoft Authenticator app, or FIDO2 security keys to authenticate users without the need for passwords, reducing the risk of phishing attacks and credential theft.
By implementing these security measures, UserCompute ensures that your organisation’s identities are protected against unauthorised access, providing a secure and user-friendly authentication experience.
Conclusion
At UserCompute, we are committed to delivering comprehensive device enrolment and identity management solutions that align with your organisation’s security and operational needs. By leveraging Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Entra ID, we provide a seamless and secure environment that empowers your workforce while safeguarding critical resources.
