This post helps you to monitor App Protection Policy status from Intune Admin portal. Intune App protection policies are rules that ensure corporate data remains safe or contained in a managed app.
Intune App Protection Policy allows organizations to enforce specific security and data protection measures on mobile apps used within their managed environment. By defining and applying Intune App Protection Policies, admins can control app behavior, protect sensitive data, and ensure compliance with organizational security policies.
These policies can be configured to prevent data leakage, restrict app access based on device compliance, require app-level authentication, enable encryption, and implement other security measures.
Intune App Protection Policies provide a comprehensive and flexible approach to securing mobile apps, empowering organizations to protect their data while allowing employees to use their preferred devices and applications.
By monitoring the Intune App Protection Policy status in the Intune admin center, you can stay informed about the enforcement and assignment status of your policies and take necessary actions to address any issues.
