In today’s digital age, protecting corporate data on mobile devices is crucial. Microsoft Intune offers robust application protection policies (APP) to safeguard data within applications, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure even when accessed from personal devices. One important aspect of Microsoft Intune’s application protection is understanding how it operates within defined Working Time Management defines for users.

Working Time and Policy Enforcement

One of the key features of Microsoft Intune’s application protection is the ability to define working hours. This feature allows organizations to specify the hours during which application protection policies are enforced. Outside of these hours, certain restrictions can be relaxed, providing a balance between security and user convenience.

For example, during working hours, policies might enforce strict data protection measures, such as preventing data from being copied to unmanaged apps or requiring multi-factor authentication for access. Outside of working hours, these restrictions can be adjusted to allow users more flexibility while still maintaining a level of security.
