Microsoft Overhauls Endpoint Management with Integrated Intune Suite

Microsoft has revamped its Intune endpoint management platform by incorporating it into the Microsoft 365 E5 license. This change simplifies endpoint management for organizations, reducing tool sprawl and operational overhead.

The inclusion of the full Intune Suite in E5 expands its capabilities and changes the economics of managing devices at scale. Security Copilot is a new AI-driven feature that enables administrators to query device status using natural language, reducing reliance on custom scripts and complex queries.

This shift affects how IT and security leaders manage endpoints, costs, and operational effort. The impact will be felt most quickly in large, distributed device estates, particularly in industries such as professional services, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, education, and the public sector.
