Mobile Device Management - Ensure Mobile Device Management Policies Are Required For Email Profiles

By Ashwin Venugopal -

 





Summary

Mobile device management policies should be configured to require the policy to manage the email profile of the user. 

Reason

If it is not made mandatory, then, users will be able to set up and configure email accounts without the protections of the mobile device management policy, leading to potential breaches to accounts and data.

What If?

This setting will have a moderate user impact.

How to?

To set mobile device management policies, use the Microsoft 365 Admin Center:
  1. Under Admin Centers pick Device Management.
  2. Select Device Compliance and then under Policy select Compliance Policies
  3. Select Create Policy
  4. Set a Name for the policy, choose the appropriate Platform
  5. Under Settings and Email ensure that Require mobile devices to have a managed email profile is set to Require.

Monitor:

To verify mobile device management policies, use the Microsoft 365 Admin Center:
  1. Under Admin Centers pick Device Management.
  2. Select Device Compliance and then under Policy select Compliance Policies
  3. Review the list of profiles. Ensure that a profile exists for each Platform.
  4. Under Settings, review the Email section and verify that Require mobile devices to have a managed email profile is set to Require.

If it is being considered to be used, then following areas should be covered during a Microsoft Sentinel deployment project: Consider the timelines and the strategy for a migration to AMA (Azure Monitor Agent) before the MMA end-of-life.  Consider the central deployment and management methodology for MMA. Determine which endpoints are in scope for deployment as these affect the log ingestion volume significantly.  Azure Monitor Agent (AMA) Organizations with MMA as the main Microsoft Sentinel agent should start planning the migration to AMA as soon as possible to avoid a rushed migration.
