CISA Sounds Alarm: Lock Down Microsoft Intune Now
US government urges companies to secure Microsoft Intune after a cyberattack hit Stryker Corp. last week.
CISA is telling American businesses to get serious about securing Microsoft Intune — and fast. The warning comes after a cyberattack struck Stryker Corp. last week, exposing risks in the widely used management tool.
Intune is Microsoft's cloud-based tool for managing employee access to corporate accounts and devices. It's everywhere in enterprise environments, which makes it a juicy target.
CISA's guidance is straightforward: follow Microsoft's own recommendations for hardening Intune configurations. The implication? Too many companies aren't doing even the basics.
The Stryker incident apparently served as the wake-up call. Details on the attack itself remain thin, but the federal response signals it was serious enough to warrant a broad industry warning.
Bottom line: if your org runs Intune, now's the time to audit those settings. The feds aren't asking nicely.
