Why are identity and device management critical?
Identity and device management provide stronger protection against data breaches and cyberattacks while enabling a modern and scalable security environment. It allows for more efficient access management with clearer permissions, supports secure remote work and mobility, and helps organizations comply with regulations and standards. At the same time, it contributes to a secure and user-friendly experience.
The benefits of protected identities and devices
Protected identities and devices create confidence through proven methods and experience, while risks can be quickly reduced through the right prioritization. It decreases complexity in both identity and device workflows, provides tailored support based on your maturity and needs, and enables smoother sign-ins and secure access. In addition, you gain full control over the lifecycle of identities and devices.
Connect users and devices in Intune
Managing Microsoft Intune often involves more manual work than expected, especially when the connection between users and devices is missing. With DUDE Manager, you can overcome these challenges and achieve a more structured approach. This open-source tool, developed by Exobe, creates a more controlled and predictable way of working for larger organizations.
How we support you
01
Pre-meeting
We start with a pre-meeting where we explore your needs, goals, and current challenges together. This step is particularly valuable for organizations that are unsure of their next steps or what to prioritize. The pre-meeting creates a shared understanding of your current state and lays the foundation for choosing the right path forward.
02
Workshop & design
Next, we conduct an in-depth workshop where we meet you exactly where you are in your journey. We analyze identities, devices, access patterns, and existing security solutions. Together, we define recommendations, design principles, and a clear direction for strengthening identity and device security in line with Zero Trust and Microsoft best practices. The workshop results in concrete next steps tailored to your organization.
03
Implementation & documentation
Once the direction is set, we help you turn plans into reality. We implement the agreed solutions, optimize configurations, and ensure everything is clearly and sustainably documented. The result is a secure, modern, and well-documented environment for both identities and devices — ready to be used and continuously developed.
FAQ
What does secure management of identities and devices mean?
Secure management is based on principles such as Zero Trust, strong authentication, clear roles, and consistent configuration. When identities and devices follow the same security level, risks are drastically reduced and the environment becomes easier to manage.
Why are identities and devices so important in cybersecurity?
Most cyberattacks begin with an attempt to compromise an account or take control of a device. If both identities and devices are properly protected, most attack attempts are stopped immediately.
What is a baseline for identity and device management?
A baseline is a recommended starting level that describes how identities and devices should be configured. It creates clarity, reduces errors, and makes it easier to scale securely.
Why should companies establish a security baseline?
A good baseline provides structure. When all users and devices follow the same foundational level, it becomes easier to secure the environment, meet regulatory requirements, and avoid mistakes that lead to vulnerabilities.
How can onboarding and offboarding be improved?
Through automation. When permissions are assigned and removed automatically, the risk of human error and lingering access is reduced.
What does Zero Trust mean in practice?
Zero Trust means that access is never granted automatically. Every request must meet requirements related to identity, device, location, and risk level before access is allowed.
What do you get immediately after a workshop?
You receive a documented baseline, recommendations, clear next steps, and a solid foundation to build on. Many find that working with Intune and Entra ID becomes significantly easier afterward.
Who should be involved in identity and device management?
IT managers, technicians, security roles (CISO), and those responsible for access and user management—in short, everyone who influences how identities and devices are handled in daily operations.
How does modern identity management improve user security?
By controlling how logins occur, using risk-based access, and combining MFA with requirements for trusted devices. This makes it significantly harder for unauthorized users to gain access.
What is included in a professional analysis of identities and devices?
A review of policies, deviations, risks, logs, and configuration levels. The goal is to identify where improvements will have the greatest impact on security.
How does identity and device management affect GDPR and other requirements?
Clear access control, traceability, encryption, and proper device management are central components of GDPR. A strong identity and device solution makes it easier to demonstrate compliance and avoid unnecessary risks.
How can companies most quickly improve their security level?
By starting with identity protection, device security, and establishing a baseline. These three areas provide fast and powerful risk reduction—regardless of maturity level.
