035: Data protection

Overview​

Mobile Application Management (MAM) in Microsoft Intune provides several data protection settings for Android devices. Here’s a breakdown of the key options available:

1. Data Protection Settings​

These settings control how data is handled within managed applications:

  • Cut, Copy, and Paste: You can restrict or allow cut, copy, and paste actions between managed and unmanaged apps.
  • Save As: Control whether users can save files from managed apps to unmanaged locations.
  • Data Encryption: Ensure that data within managed apps is encrypted.
  • Access to Device Features: Control access to device features like the camera or microphone from managed apps.

These options allow organizations to maintain control over corporate data while providing flexibility for users.
