Define Intune Cloud Policies Deployment Strategy

There are more than two ways to define Intune Cloud policies deployment strategy using Intune. Two of them are 1. CIS Microsoft Intune for Windows Benchmark v1.0.1 and 2. Various Deployment Options for Cloud Policies.

• Settings Catalog – The best option to create Cloud policies using Intune. Frequently updated!!
• Security Baseline – the Microsoft product group recommended security policies (easiest way to deploy security policies).
• Device Restriction/Custom policies – Use this security setting if the security settings you are looking for are not available in any other types of options mentioned above.
