About MDM Integration and Operational Considerations in Segura® EPM

Applicability

• Mass distribution of privilege policies to Windows devices managed by Mobile Device Management solutions such as Microsoft Intune.
• Hybrid (on-prem AD + Azure AD) or remote scenarios where GPO alone is insufficient.
• Centralized lifecycle management of EPM agents (install, update, parameterization).

Functionality

1. MDM integration:
   1. Configuration profiles or packages exported from the Segura® EPM console are delivered by the MDM.
   2. The MDM installs the agent, distributes policies, and ensures that only registered devices receive elevated permissions.
   3. Compatible with additional Windows-capable MDMs (Workspace ONE, MobileIron, etc.).
2. Automation and governance
   1. Policies are always authored in the central console to prevent drift.
   2. Segregation of duties: policy authors do not approve or monitor deployment.
   3. Dashboards and alerts surface enforcement failures or deviations and feed into SIEM.
3. Limitations and dependencies
   1. Offline devices apply policies only after reconnecting.
   2. Advanced settings may require custom scripts or API calls.
   3. Product or agent upgrades can demand template adjustments in the MDM.
4. Example - Large-scale deployment with Intune
   1. Export the agent installer and policy profile from the Segura® EPM console.
   2. Create an Intune app and configuration profile.
   3. Assign them to device or user groups.
   4. Verify installation and policy enforcement in both Intune and the EPM console.

Use cases

• Zero-touch onboarding of corporate laptops for remote employees.
• Rapid rollout of a new JIT policy to all endpoints without requiring VPN.
• Fleet-wide EPM agent upgrades ahead of an audit deadline.

Conclusion

Integrating Segura® EPM with MDM platforms extends privilege policy coverage to off-domain devices while preserving governance, auditability, and rapid incident response in distributed environments.
