Microsoft Intune is a family of products and services. It combines services you may know and already be using, including Microsoft Intune, Configuration Manager, co-management, Endpoint Analytics, and Windows Autopilot. These services are part of the Microsoft 365 stack to help secure access, protect data, and respond to & manage risk.

Previously, this family of products and services was known as Microsoft Endpoint Manager.

The Microsoft Intune family helps deliver the modern workplace and modern management to keep your data secure, in the cloud and on-premises. Intune includes the services and tools you use to manage and monitor mobile devices, desktop computers, virtual machines, embedded devices, and servers.

You can also think of Intune in three parts: cloud, on-premises, and cloud + on-premises:
43-
44-
- **Cloud**: All data is stored in Azure. And, no more data centers. This approach gives you the mobility benefits of the cloud, and the security benefits of Azure.
45-
46-
- **On-premises**: If you have an on-premises infrastructure that includes Configuration Manager and Windows Server, or aren't ready to use the cloud, then keep your existing systems.
47-
48-
- **Cloud + on-premises**: Many environments are mixed, and use a cloud-attach approach. Meaning, they use a combination of cloud and on-premises. For new devices, use the benefits of Intune to access and protect data. If you use Configuration Manager, connect to the cloud for more functionality and analytics. If you want to move some workloads to the cloud, then co-management is a good option.

In the [Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109431), you create your policies and assign them to your groups. As a best practice, start small, and use a staged approach. For example, create an iOS/iPadOS policy that blocks jailbroken devices. Apply the policy to a pilot or test group. After initial testing, add more users to the pilot group. For more guidance, go to the [Microsoft Intune planning guide](intune-planning-guide.md).

To help keep organization data secure on these devices, you can use app protection policies and multi-factor authentication (MFA). App protection policies help protect organization data on personal devices. MFA helps protect your organization's data from unauthorized access.
