Mobile Device Management (MDM)
The improved MDM capabilities included in the December 2212 edition of Microsoft Intune make it easier for organizations to manage and secure their mobile devices. With the improved MDM capabilities, organizations can now better control access to corporate apps and resources by setting up access policies, device restrictions, and data protection policies.
In addition, organizations can now use the MDM capabilities to manage mobile device applications, including third-party applications, and to deploy apps to managed devices. This can help organizations ensure that their employees are using approved apps and that the applications are up-to-date with the latest security patches.
Application Security Policies
The December 2212 edition of Microsoft Intune also includes improved application security policies. Organizations can now define more granular security policies for their mobile applications and devices. This can help organizations ensure that their mobile devices and applications are secure and compliant with corporate policies.
For example, organizations can now set up policies to require users to enter a passcode when accessing corporate apps and data, or to require users to use a secure VPN connection when accessing corporate resources. Organizations can also set up policies to restrict access to certain types of content, such as adult content, or to prevent users from installing certain types of apps.
Support for Windows 10X Devices
The December 2212 edition of Microsoft Intune also includes support for Windows 10X devices. This allows organizations to manage and secure Windows 10X devices using the same set of tools and policies used to manage and secure other mobile devices.
Organizations can now use the MDM capabilities to deploy apps to Windows 10X devices, as well as to restrict access to corporate resources and data. The improved reporting capabilities also make it easier for organizations to track and monitor Windows 10X devices.
Improved Device Enrollment Experience
The December 2212 edition of Microsoft Intune also includes an improved device enrollment experience. The improved enrollment experience allows organizations to quickly and easily enroll their devices into the Microsoft Intune service. This can help organizations save time and make it easier to manage their mobile devices.
Deploy Third-Party Applications
Organizations can now deploy third-party applications using the MDM capabilities included in the December 2212 edition of Microsoft Intune. This allows organizations to quickly and easily deploy third-party applications to their managed devices. Organizations can also use the MDM capabilities to manage the applications and to ensure that they are up-to-date with the latest security patches.

The December 2212 edition of Microsoft Intune also includes improved reporting capabilities. Organizations can now use the reporting capabilities to track and monitor their mobile devices and applications. This can help organizations ensure that their devices and applications are secure and compliant with corporate policies.
In addition, organizations can now use the reporting capabilities to identify potential security issues and to investigate incidents. Organizations can also use the reporting capabilities to analyze usage of corporate applications and resources.
