#### New profile templates and settings structure for endpoint security policies<!-- 13742640 -->
68+
69+
We’ve begun to release new [endpoint security profile templates](../intune/protect/endpoint-security-policy.md) that use the settings format as found in the Settings Catalog. Each new profile template includes the same settings as the older profile it replaces, while bringing the following improvements:
70+
71+
- **Setting names match the Windows CSP name**: Each setting name in the new profiles use the same name as the CSP that the setting configures. However, in the Intune UI we’ve added spaces to that name to make the setting name easier to read. For example, a setting in the Intune UI that’s named *Allow USB Connection* configures the CSP named [AllowUSBConnection](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-connectivity#connectivity-allowusbconnection).
72+
73+
- **Setting options align to those of the Windows CSP**: Options for settings now align directly to those options as described and supported by the Windows CSP, with one addition. The addition is that we’ve included the option of Not configured. When a setting is set to Not configured, that Intune profile does not actively manage that setting. When a profiles is changed to go from active configuration of setting Not configured, Intune stops actively enforcing the configuration for that setting on the device.
74+
75+
- **Setting guidance is taken from the Windows CSP**: The information about the setting found in the Intune UI is taken directly from the Windows CSP content, with Learn more links opening the documentation for the relevant CSP, or the content page that includes that CSP. The CSP defines and manages the settings behavior.
76+
When a new platform and profile template is available for a policy type, the older profile of the same name will no longer be available to create new profiles. Instead, new profiles must use the new profiles and settings format. Eventually, your old profiles will be supported for conversion to the new profile format. Until that conversion is available, you can still use, edit, and deploy your existing profiles.

The following profile templates are now available in the new settings format:
