What Intune Plan 2 does
Intune Plan 2 builds upon the core Intune functionality, adding features designed for more complex endpoint management scenarios. It includes Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) which allows for granular control over user actions on managed devices, Microsoft Tunnel for secure access to corporate resources via mobile apps, and advanced endpoint analytics for deeper insights into device health and performance. These features are designed to address increasingly sophisticated security threats and evolving business requirements.

In the AU mid-market, Endpoint Privilege Management is a key differentiator for Intune Plan 2. It addresses the common challenge of needing local administrator privileges for specific tasks without granting standing admin rights, aligning with principles of least privilege. Organisations should consider whether the standalone Plan 2 licence offers better value than including it within the Intune Suite, factoring in existing Microsoft 365 licensing and the need for other Suite components. Compliance with APRA CPS 234 and CPS 230 requires robust endpoint controls, and EPM contributes to achieving this.
