Your phone is a work device too – secure it like one

The challenge

Most employees use a phone for work, and it's often a personal one. If that phone is lost or compromised, your business data can end up in the wrong hands.

Two ways to secure the phone

You can fully manage company-owned phones with Microsoft Intune and enforce requirements for passcodes, encryption, and updates. On personal phones, you can protect the work apps themselves instead: data in Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive can be protected and wiped without giving the business access to personal photos and messages.

Balancing control and privacy

Employees are often wary of letting their employer manage their phone. App protection addresses much of that concern: the business protects its data, and the employee stays in control of everything else.
