Introduction

There are several technology fields in Microsoft Cloud. This page aims to group them and give some details and explanation to the primary actions.

Endpoint management - Workplace

Endpoint managements core is Microsoft Intune for designing, implementing, and maintaining all around mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM).

The aim is that endpoints are configured and secured according to the organization's policies and standards. This may include configuring and deploying endpoints, software, updates, security patches, and anti-virus software or other security measurements, as well as managing and monitoring device compliance and inventory.

Security

Security roles mostly interact with other fields, as it is an essential part of everything. Protect an organization's information and assets from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. This includes assessing security risks, implementing security controls, and monitoring and responding to security incidents.

The Defender Suite is tied to other non-security related products and pure security is delivered through Microsoft Sentinel. All of the data comes together in the Microsoft Cloud for detection, correlation, response and hunting.

Identity

Includes systems and infrastructure that manage and secure an organization's digital identities. This is about managing user accounts, authentication systems, and access controls. Authentication and authorization with technological standards and compliance requirements is the essence. Identity and access management (IAM) or integration into other solutions for single sign-on (SSO) are responsible to ensure that only authorized users have access to sensitive data and systems. Identities have a lifecycle and security risks must be mitigated.
