Better Mobile Threat Defense connector with Intune
You can control mobile device access to corporate resources using Conditional Access based on risk assessment conducted by Better Mobile, a Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) solution that integrates with Microsoft Intune. Risk is assessed based on telemetry collected from devices running the Better Mobile app.
You can configure Conditional Access policies based on Better Mobile risk assessment enabled through Intune device compliance policies for enrolled devices, which you can use to allow or block noncompliant devices to access corporate resources based on detected threats. For unenrolled devices, you can use app protection policies to enforce a block or selective wipe based on detected threats.
How do Intune and Better Mobile help protect your company resources?
The Better Mobile app is installed and run on mobile devices. This app captures file system, network stack, device, and application telemetry where available, and then sends the data to the Better Mobile cloud service to assess the device's risk for mobile threats.
Support for enrolled devices - Intune device compliance policy includes a rule for Mobile Threat Defense (MTD), which can use risk assessment information from Better Mobile. When the MTD rule is enabled, Intune evaluates device compliance with the policy that you enabled. If the device is found noncompliant, users are blocked access to corporate resources like Exchange Online and SharePoint Online. Users also receive guidance from the Better Mobile app installed in their devices to resolve the issue and regain access to corporate resources. To support using Better Mobile with enrolled devices:
Support for unenrolled devices - Intune can use the risk assessment data from the Better Mobile app on unenrolled devices when you use Intune app protection policies. Admins can use this combination to help protect corporate data within a Microsoft Intune protected app, Admins can also issue a block or selective wipe for corporate data on those unenrolled devices.
