App protection policies (APP) are rules that ensure an organization's data remains safe or contained in a managed app. A policy can be a rule that is enforced when the user attempts to access or move 'corporate' data, or a set of actions that are prohibited or monitored when the user is inside the app. A managed app is an app that has app protection policies applied to it, and can be managed by Intune.

Mobile Application Management (MAM) app protection policies allows you to manage and protect your organization's data within an application. With MAM without enrollment (MAM-WE), a work or school-related app that contains sensitive data can be managed on almost any device, including personal devices in bring-your-own-device (BYOD) scenarios. Many productivity apps, such as the Microsoft Office apps, can be managed by Intune MAM. See the official list of Microsoft Intune protected apps available for public use.

There you’ll see a simple app with five tabs, and a list of entries that changes every few seconds. Each of the five tabs inside Activity Monitor keep track of certain aspects of your Mac’s performance. 4) Click on Choose button to locate your apk file, in this case, I have given it Amazon apk. Notice, that Package and Launch Activity is populated with the information. Note: In case the correct information is not displayed in the Launch Activity field, click on the dropdown to look for the home.Home.Activity. Or if the information is not even.

How you can protect app data

Your employees use mobile devices for both personal and work tasks. While making sure your employees can be productive, you want to prevent data loss, intentional and unintentional. You'll also want to protect company data that is accessed from devices that are not managed by you.

You can use Intune app protection policies independent of any mobile-device management (MDM) solution. This independence helps you protect your company's data with or without enrolling devices in a device management solution. By implementing app-level policies, you can restrict access to company resources and keep data within the purview of your IT department.

App protection policies on devices

App protection policies can be configured for apps that run on devices that are:

• Enrolled in Microsoft Intune: These devices are typically corporate owned.

• Enrolled in a third-party Mobile device management (MDM) solution: These devices are typically corporate owned.

  Note

  Mobile app management policies should not be used with third-party mobile app management or secure container solutions.

• Not enrolled in any mobile device management solution: These devices are typically employee owned devices that aren't managed or enrolled in Intune or other MDM solutions.

Important

You can create mobile app management policies for Office mobile apps that connect to Office 365 services. You can also protect access to Exchange on-premises mailboxes by creating Intune app protection policies for Outlook for iOS/iPadOS and Android enabled with hybrid Modern Authentication. Before using this feature, make sure you meet the Outlook for iOS/iPadOS and Android requirements. App protection policies are not supported for other apps that connect to on-premises Exchange or SharePoint services.

Benefits of using App protection policies

The important benefits of using App protection policies are the following:

• Protecting your company data at the app level. Because mobile app management doesn't require device management, you can protect company data on both managed and unmanaged devices. The management is centered on the user identity, which removes the requirement for device management.

• End-user productivity isn't affected and policies don't apply when using the app in a personal context. The policies are applied only in a work context, which gives you the ability to protect company data without touching personal data.

• App protection policies makes sure that the app-layer protections are in place. For example, you can:

  • Require a PIN to open an app in a work context
  • Control the sharing of data between apps
  • Prevent the saving of company app data to a personal storage location

• MDM, in addition to MAM, makes sure that the device is protected. For example, you can require a PIN to access the device, or you can deploy managed apps to the device. You can also deploy apps to devices through your MDM solution, to give you more control over app management.

There are additional benefits to using MDM with App protection policies, and companies can use App protection policies with and without MDM at the same time. For example, consider an employee that uses both a phone issued by the company, and their own personal tablet. The company phone is enrolled in MDM and protected by App protection policies while the personal device is protected by App protection policies only.

If you apply a MAM policy to the user without setting the device state, the user will get the MAM policy on both the BYOD device and the Intune-managed device. You can also apply a MAM policy based on the managed state. So when you create an app protection policy, next to Target to all app types, you'd select No. Then do any of the following:

• Apply a less strict MAM policy to Intune managed devices, and apply a more restrictive MAM policy to non MDM-enrolled devices.
• Apply a MAM policy to unenrolled devices only.

Supported platforms for app protection policies

Intune offers a range of capabilities to help you get the apps you need on the devices you want to run them on. For more information, see App management capabilities by platform.

Intune app protection policies platform support aligns with Office mobile application platform support for Android and iOS/iPadOS devices. For details, see the Mobile apps section of Office System Requirements.

Important

The Intune Company Portal is required on the device to receive App Protection Policies on Android. For more information, see the Intune Company Portal access apps requirements.

App protection policy data protection framework

The choices available in app protection policies (APP) enable organizations to tailor the protection to their specific needs. For some, it may not be obvious which policy settings are required to implement a complete scenario. To help organizations prioritize mobile client endpoint hardening, Microsoft has introduced taxonomy for its APP data protection framework for iOS and Android mobile app management.

The APP data protection framework is organized into three distinct configuration levels, with each level building off the previous level:

• Enterprise basic data protection (Level 1) ensures that apps are protected with a PIN and encrypted and performs selective wipe operations. For Android devices, this level validates Android device attestation. This is an entry level configuration that provides similar data protection control in Exchange Online mailbox policies and introduces IT and the user population to APP.
• Enterprise enhanced data protection (Level 2) introduces APP data leakage prevention mechanisms and minimum OS requirements. This is the configuration that is applicable to most mobile users accessing work or school data.
• Enterprise high data protection (Level 3) introduces advanced data protection mechanisms, enhanced PIN configuration, and APP Mobile Threat Defense. This configuration is desirable for users that are accessing high risk data.

To see the specific recommendations for each configuration level and the minimum apps that must be protected, review Data protection framework using app protection policies.

How app protection policies protect app data

Apps without app protection policies

When apps are used without restrictions, company and personal data can get intermingled. Company data can end up in locations like personal storage or transferred to apps beyond your purview and result in data loss. The arrows in the following diagram show unrestricted data movement between both corporate and personal apps, and to storage locations.

Data protection with app protection policies (APP)

You can use App protection policies to prevent company data from saving to the local storage of the device (see the image below). You can also restrict data movement to other apps that aren't protected by App protection policies. App protection policy settings include:

• Data relocation policies like Save copies of org data, and Restrict cut, copy, and paste.
• Access policy settings like Require simple PIN for access, and Block managed apps from running on jailbroken or rooted devices.

Data protection with APP on devices managed by an MDM solution

The below illustration shows the layers of protection that MDM and App protection policies offer together.

The MDM solution adds value by providing the following:

• Enrolls the device
• Deploys the apps to the device
• Provides ongoing device compliance and management

The App protection policies add value by providing the following:

• Help protect company data from leaking to consumer apps and services
• Apply restrictions like save-as, clipboard, or PIN, to client apps
• Wipe company data when needed from apps without removing those apps from the device

Data protection with APP for devices without enrollment

The following diagram illustrates how the data protection policies work at the app level without MDM.

For BYOD devices not enrolled in any MDM solution, App protection policies can help protect company data at the app level.However, there are some limitations to be aware of, such as:

• You can't deploy apps to the device. The end user has to get the apps from the store.
• You can't provision certificate profiles on these devices.
• You can't provision company Wi-Fi and VPN settings on these devices.

Apps you can manage with app protection policies

Any app that has been integrated with the Intune SDK or wrapped by the Intune App Wrapping Tool can be managed using Intune app protection policies. See the official list of Microsoft Intune protected apps that have been built using these tools and are available for public use.

The Intune SDK development team actively tests and maintains support for apps built with the native Android, iOS/iPadOS (Obj-C, Swift), Xamarin, and Xamarin.Forms platforms. While some customers have had success with Intune SDK integration with other platforms such as React Native and NativeScript, we do not provide explicit guidance or plugins for app developers using anything other than our supported platforms.

The Intune SDK uses some advanced modern authentication capabilities from theAzure Active Directory Authentication Libraries (ADAL) for both the 1st party and the 3rd party versions of the SDK. As such, Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) does not work well with many of our core scenarios such as authentication into the Intune App Protection service and conditional launch. Given that the overall guidance from Microsoft's Identity team is to switch to MSAL for all of the Microsoft Office apps, the Intune SDK will eventually need to support it, but there are no plans today.

End-user requirements to use app protection policies

The following list provides the end-user requirements to use app protection policies on an Intune-managed app:

• The end user must have an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) account. See Add users and give administrative permission to Intune to learn how to create Intune users in Azure Active Directory.

• The end user must have a license for Microsoft Intune assigned to their Azure Active Directory account. See Manage Intune licenses to learn how to assign Intune licenses to end users.

• The end user must belong to a security group that is targeted by an app protection policy. The same app protection policy must target the specific app being used. App protection policies can be created and deployed in the Intune console in the Azure portal. Security groups can currently be created in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

• The end user must sign into the app using their Azure AD account.

App protection policies for Microsoft Office apps

There are a few additional requirements that you want to be aware of when using App protection policies with Microsoft Office apps.

Outlook mobile app

The additional requirements to use the Outlook mobile app include the following:

• The end user must have the Outlook mobile app installed to their device.

• The end user must have an Office 365 Exchange Online mailbox and license linked to their Azure Active Directory account.

  Note

  The Outlook mobile app currently only supports Intune App Protection for Microsoft Exchange Online and Exchange Server with hybrid modern authentication and does not support Exchange in Office 365 Dedicated.

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint

The additional requirements to use the Word, Excel, and PowerPoint apps include the following:

• The end user must have a license for Microsoft 365 Apps for business or enterprise linked to their Azure Active Directory account. The subscription must include the Office apps on mobile devices and can include a cloud storage account with OneDrive for Business. Office 365 licenses can be assigned in the Microsoft 365 admin center following these instructions.

• The end user must have a managed location configured using the granular save as functionality under the 'Save copies of org data' application protection policy setting. For example, if the managed location is OneDrive, the OneDrive app should be configured in the end user's Word, Excel, or PowerPoint app.

• If the managed location is OneDrive, the app must be targeted by the app protection policy deployed to the end user.

  Note

  The Office mobile apps currently only support SharePoint Online and not SharePoint on-premises.

Managed location needed for Office

A managed location (i.e. OneDrive) is needed for Office. Intune marks all data in the app as either 'corporate' or 'personal'. Data is considered 'corporate' when it originates from a business location. For the Office apps, Intune considers the following as business locations: email (Exchange) or cloud storage (OneDrive app with a OneDrive for Business account).

Skype for Business

There are additional requirements to use Skype for Business. See Skype for Business license requirements. For Skype for Business (SfB) hybrid and on-prem configurations, see Hybrid Modern Auth for SfB and Exchange goes GA and Modern Auth for SfB OnPrem with AAD, respectively.

App protection Global policy

If a OneDrive administrator browses to admin.onedrive.com and selects Device access, they can set Mobile application management controls to the OneDrive and SharePoint client apps.

The settings, made available to the OneDrive Admin console, configure a special Intune app protection policy called the Global policy. This global policy applies to all users in your tenant, and has no way to control the policy targeting.

Once enabled, the OneDrive and SharePoint apps for iOS/iPadOS and Android are protected with the selected settings by default. An IT Pro can edit this policy in the Intune console to add more targeted apps and to modify any policy setting.

By default, there can only be one Global policy per tenant. However, you can use Intune Graph APIs to create extra global policies per tenant, but doing so isn't recommended. Creating extra global policies isn't recommended because troubleshooting the implementation of such a policy can become complicated.

While the Global policy applies to all users in your tenant, any standard Intune app protection policy will override these settings.

App protection features

Multi-identity

Multi-identity support allows an app to support multiple audiences. These audiences are both 'corporate' users and 'personal' users. Work and school accounts are used by 'corporate' audiences, whereas personal accounts would be used for consumer audiences, such as Microsoft Office users. An app that supports multi-identity can be released publicly, where app protection policies apply only when the app is used in the work and school ('corporate') context. Multi-identity support uses the Intune SDK to only apply app protection policies to the work or school account signed into the app. If a personal account is signed into the app, the data is untouched.

For an example of 'personal' context, consider a user who starts a new document in Word, this is considered personal context so Intune App Protection policies are not applied. Once the document is saved on the 'corporate' OneDrive account, then it will be considered 'corporate' context and Intune App Protection policies will be applied.

For an example of work or 'corporate' context, consider a user who starts the OneDrive app by using their work account. In the work context, they can't move files to a personal storage location. Later, when they use OneDrive with their personal account, they can copy and move data from their personal OneDrive without restrictions.

Outlook has a combined email view of both 'personal' and 'corporate' emails. In this situation, the Outlook app prompts for the Intune PIN on launch.

Note

Although Edge is in 'corporate' context, user can intentionally move OneDrive 'corporate' context files to an unknown personal cloud storage location. To avoid this, see Manage restricted web sites and configure the allowed/blocked site list for Edge.

For more information about multi-identity in Intune, see MAM and multi-identity.

Intune app PIN

The Personal Identification Number (PIN) is a passcode used to verify that the correct user is accessing the organization's data in an application.

PIN prompt
Intune prompts for the user's app PIN when the user is about to access 'corporate' data. In multi-identity apps such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, the user is prompted for their PIN when they try to open a 'corporate' document or file. In single-identity apps, such as line-of-business apps managed using the Intune App Wrapping Tool, the PIN is prompted at launch, because the Intune SDK knows the user's experience in the app is always 'corporate'.

PIN prompt, or corporate credential prompt, frequency
The IT admin can define the Intune app protection policy setting Recheck the access requirements after (minutes) in the Intune admin console. This setting specifies the amount of time before the access requirements are checked on the device, and the application PIN screen, or corporate credential prompt, is shown again. However, important details about PIN that affect how often the user will be prompted are:

• The PIN is shared among apps of the same publisher to improve usability:
  On iOS/iPadOS, one app PIN is shared amongst all apps of the same app publisher. For example, all Microsoft apps share the same PIN. On Android, one app PIN is shared amongst all apps.
• The Recheck the access requirements after (minutes) behavior after a device reboot:
  A timer tracks the number of minutes of inactivity that determine when to show the Intune app PIN, or corporate credential prompt next. On iOS/iPadOS, the timer is unaffected by device reboot. Thus, device reboot has no effect on the number of minutes the user has been inactive from an iOS/iPadOS app with Intune PIN (or corporate credential) policy targeted. On Android, the timer is reset on device reboot. As such, Android apps with Intune PIN (or corporate credential) policy will likely prompt for an app PIN, or corporate credential prompt, regardless of the 'Recheck the access requirements after (minutes)' setting value after a device reboot.
• The rolling nature of the timer associated with the PIN:
  Once a PIN is entered to access an app (app A), and the app leaves the foreground (main input focus) on the device, the timer gets reset for that PIN. Any app (app B) that shares this PIN will not prompt the user for PIN entry because the timer has reset. The prompt will show up again once the 'Recheck the access requirements after (minutes)' value is met again.

For iOS/iPadOS devices, even if the PIN is shared between apps from different publishers, the prompt will show up again when the Recheck the access requirements after (minutes) value is met again for the app that is not the main input focus. So, for example, a user has app A from publisher X and app B from publisher Y, and those two apps share the same PIN. The user is focused on app A (foreground), and app B is minimized. After the Recheck the access requirements after (minutes) value is met and the user switches to app B, the PIN would be required.

Note

In order to verify the user's access requirements more often (i.e. PIN prompt), especially for a frequently used app, it is recommended to reduce the value of the 'Recheck the access requirements after (minutes)' setting.

Built-in app PINs for Outlook and OneDrive
The Intune PIN works based on an inactivity-based timer (the value of Recheck the access requirements after (minutes)). As such, Intune PIN prompts show up independently from the built-in app PIN prompts for Outlook and OneDrive which often are tied to app launch by default. If the user receives both PIN prompts at the same time, the expected behavior should be that the Intune PIN takes precedence.

Intune PIN security
The PIN serves to allow only the correct user to access their organization's data in the app. Therefore, an end user must sign in with their work or school account before they can set or reset their Intune app PIN. This authentication is handled by Azure Active Directory via secure token exchange and is not transparent to the Intune SDK. From a security perspective, the best way to protect work or school data is to encrypt it. Encryption is not related to the app PIN but is its own app protection policy.

Protecting against brute force attacks and the Intune PIN
As part of the app PIN policy, the IT administrator can set the maximum number of times a user can try to authenticate their PIN before locking the app. After the number of attempts has been met, the Intune SDK can wipe the 'corporate' data in the app.

Intune PIN and a selective wipe
On iOS/iPadOS, the app level PIN information is stored in the keychain that is shared between apps with the same publisher, such as all first party Microsoft apps. This PIN information is also tied to an end user account. A selective wipe of one app shouldn't affect a different app.

Top collage apps for mac. For example, a PIN set for Outlook for the signed in user is stored in a shared keychain. When the user signs into OneDrive (also published by Microsoft), they will see the same PIN as Outlook since it uses the same shared keychain. When signing out of Outlook or wiping the user data in Outlook, the Intune SDK does not clear that keychain because OneDrive might still be using that PIN. Because of this, selective wipes do not clear that shared keychain, including the PIN. This behavior remains the same even if only one app by a publisher exists on the device.

Since the PIN is shared amongst apps with the same publisher, if the wipe goes to a single app, the Intune SDK does not know if there are any other apps on the device with the same publisher. Thus, the Intune SDK does not clear the PIN since it might still be used for other apps. The expectation is that the app PIN should be wiped when last app from that publisher will be removed eventually as part of some OS cleanup.

If you observe the PIN being wiped on some devices, the following is likely happening: Since the PIN is tied to an identity, if the user signed in with a different account after a wipe, they will be prompted to enter a new PIN. However, if they sign in with a previously existing account, a PIN stored in the keychain already can be used to sign in.

Setting a PIN twice on apps from the same publisher?
MAM (on iOS/iPadOS) currently allows application-level PIN with alphanumeric and special characters (called 'passcode') which requires the participation of applications (i.e. WXP, Outlook, Managed Browser, Yammer) to integrate the Intune SDK for iOS. Without this, the passcode settings are not properly enforced for the targeted applications. This was a feature released in the Intune SDK for iOS v. 7.1.12.

In order to support this feature and ensure backward compatibility with previous versions of the Intune SDK for iOS/iPadOS, all PINs (either numeric or passcode) in 7.1.12+ are handled separately from the numeric PIN in previous versions of the SDK. Therefore, if a device has applications with Intune SDK for iOS versions before 7.1.12 AND after 7.1.12 from the same publisher, they will have to set up two PINs. The two PINs (for each app) are not related in any way (i.e. they must adhere to the app protection policy that's applied to the app). As such, only if apps A and B have the same policies applied (with respect to PIN), user may set up the same PIN twice.

This behavior is specific to the PIN on iOS/iPadOS applications that are enabled with Intune Mobile App Management. Over time, as applications adopt later versions of the Intune SDK for iOS/iPadOS, having to set a PIN twice on apps from the same publisher becomes less of an issue. Please see the note below for an example.

Note

For example, if app A is built with a version prior to 7.1.12 and app B is built with a version greater than or equal to 7.1.12 from the same publisher, the end user will need to set up PINs separately for A and B if both are installed on an iOS/iPadOS device.If an app C that has SDK version 7.1.9 is installed on the device, it will share the same PIN as app A.An app D built with 7.1.14 will share the same PIN as app B.
If only apps A and C are installed on a device, then one PIN will need to be set. The same applies to if only apps B and D are installed on a device.

App data encryption

IT administrators can deploy an app protection policy that requires app data to be encrypted. As part of the policy, the IT administrator can also specify when the content is encrypted.

How does Intune data encryption process
See the Android app protection policy settings and iOS/iPadOS app protection policy settings for detailed information on the encryption app protection policy setting.

Data that is encrypted
Only data marked as 'corporate' is encrypted according to the IT administrator's app protection policy. Data is considered 'corporate' when it originates from a business location. For the Office apps, Intune considers the following as business locations:

• Email (Exchange)
• Cloud storage (OneDrive app with a OneDrive for Business account)

For line-of-business apps managed by the Intune App Wrapping Tool, all app data is considered 'corporate'.

Selective wipe

Remotely wipe data
Intune can wipe app data in three different ways:

• Full device wipe
• Selective wipe for MDM
• MAM selective wipe

For more information about remote wipe for MDM, see Remove devices by using wipe or retire. For more information about selective wipe using MAM, see the Retire action and How to wipe only corporate data from apps.

Full device wipe removes all user data and settings from the device by restoring the device to its factory default settings. The device is removed from Intune.

Note

Full device wipe, and selective wipe for MDM can only be achieved on devices enrolled with Intune mobile device management (MDM).

Locate App Package And App Activity Macbook Pro

Selective wipe for MDM
See Remove devices - retire to read about removing company data.

Selective wipe for MAM
Selective wipe for MAM simply removes company app data from an app. The request is initiated using the Intune Azure portal. To learn how to initiate a wipe request, see How to wipe only corporate data from apps.

If the user is using the app when selective wipe is initiated, the Intune SDK checks every 30 minutes for a selective wipe request from the Intune MAM service. It also checks for selective wipe when the user launches the app for the first time and signs in with their work or school account.

When On-Premises (on-prem) services don't work with Intune protected apps
Intune app protection depends on the identity of the user to be consistent between the application and the Intune SDK. The only way to guarantee that is through modern authentication. There are scenarios in which apps may work with an on-prem configuration, but they are neither consistent nor guaranteed.

Secure way to open web links from managed apps
The IT administrator can deploy and set app protection policy for the Microsoft Edge, a web browser that can be managed easily with Intune. The IT administrator can require all web links in Intune-managed apps to be opened using the Managed Browser app.

App protection experience for iOS devices

Device fingerprint or face IDs

Intune app protection policies allow control over app access to only the Intune licensed user. One of the ways to control access to the app is to require either Apple's Touch ID or Face ID on supported devices. Intune implements a behavior where if there is any change to the device's biometric database, Intune prompts the user for a PIN when the next inactivity timeout value is met. Changes to biometric data include the addition or removal of a fingerprint, or face. If the Intune user does not have a PIN set, they are led to set up an Intune PIN.

The intent of this process is to continue keeping your organization's data within the app secure and protected at the app level. This feature is only available for iOS/iPadOS, and requires the participation of applications that integrate the Intune SDK for iOS/iPadOS, version 9.0.1 or later. Integration of the SDK is necessary so that the behavior can be enforced on the targeted applications. This integration happens on a rolling basis and is dependent on the specific application teams. Some apps that participate include WXP, Outlook, Managed Browser, and Yammer.

iOS share extension

You can use the iOS/iPadOS share extension to open work or school data in unmanaged apps, even with the data transfer policy set to managed apps only or no apps. Intune app protection policy cannot control the iOS/iPadOS share extension without managing the device. Therefore, Intune encrypts 'corporate' data before it is shared outside the app. You can validate this encryption behavior by attempting to open a 'corporate' file outside of the managed app. The file should be encrypted and unable to be opened outside the managed app.

Multiple Intune app protection access settings for same set of apps and users

Intune app protection policies for access will be applied in a specific order on end-user devices as they try to access a targeted app from their corporate account. In general, a wipe would take precedence, followed by a block, then a dismissible warning. For example, if applicable to the specific user/app, a minimum iOS/iPadOS operating system setting that warns a user to update their iOS/iPadOS version will be applied after the minimum iOS/iPadOS operating system setting that blocks the user from access. So, in the scenario where the IT admin configures the min iOS operating system to 11.0.0.0 and the min iOS operating system (Warning only) to 11.1.0.0, while the device trying to access the app was on iOS 10, the end user would be blocked based on the more restrictive setting for min iOS operating system version that results in blocked access.

When dealing with different types of settings, an Intune SDK version requirement would take precedence, then an app version requirement, followed by the iOS/iPadOS operating system version requirement. Then, any warnings for all types of settings in the same order are checked. We recommend the Intune SDK version requirement be configured only upon guidance from the Intune product team for essential blocking scenarios.

App protection experience for Android devices

Company Portal app and Intune app protection

Much of app protection functionality is built into the Company Portal app. Device enrollment is not required even though the Company Portal app is always required. For mobile application management without enrollment (MAM-WE), the end user just needs to have the Company Portal app installed on the device.

Multiple Intune app protection access settings for same set of apps and users

Intune app protection policies for access will be applied in a specific order on end-user devices as they try to access a targeted app from their corporate account. In general, a block would take precedence, then a dismissible warning. For example, if applicable to the specific user/app, a minimum Android patch version setting that warns a user to take a patch upgrade will be applied after the minimum Android patch version setting that blocks the user from access. So, in the scenario where the IT admin configures the min Android patch version to 2018-03-01 and the min Android patch version (Warning only) to 2018-02-01, while the device trying to access the app was on a patch version 2018-01-01, the end user would be blocked based on the more restrictive setting for min Android patch version that results in blocked access.

When dealing with different types of settings, an app version requirement would take precedence, followed by Android operating system version requirement and Android patch version requirement. Then, any warnings for all types of settings in the same order are checked.

Intune app protection policies and Google's SafetyNet Attestation for Android devices

Intune app protection policies provide the capability for admins to require end-user devices to pass Google's SafetyNet Attestation for Android devices. A new Google Play service determination will be reported to the IT admin at an interval determined by the Intune service. How often the service call is made is throttled due to load, thus this value is maintained internally and is not configurable. Any IT admin configured action for the Google SafetyNet Attestation setting will be taken based on the last reported result to the Intune service at the time of conditional launch. If there is no data, access will be allowed depending on no other conditional launch checks failing, and Google Play Service 'roundtrip' for determining attestation results will begin in the backend and prompt the user asynchronously if the device has failed. If there is stale data, access will be blocked or allowed depending on the last reported result, and similarly, a Google Play Service 'roundtrip' for determining attestation results will begin and prompt the user asynchronously if the device has failed.

Intune app protection policies and Google's Verify Apps API for Android devices

Intune App Protection Policies provide the capability for admins to require end-user devices to send signals via Google's Verify Apps API for Android devices. The instructions on how to do this vary slightly by device. The general process involves going to the Google Play Store, then clicking on My apps & games, clicking on the result of the last app scan which will take you into the Play Protect menu. Ensure the toggle for Scan device for security threats is switched to on.

Google's SafetyNet Attestation API

Intune leverages Google Play Protect SafetyNet APIs to add to our existing root detection checks for unenrolled devices. Google has developed and maintained this API set for Android apps to adopt if they do not want their apps to run on rooted devices. The Android Pay app has incorporated this, for example. While Google does not share publicly the entirety of the root detection checks that occur, we expect these APIs to detect users who have rooted their devices. These users can then be blocked from accessing, or their corporate accounts wiped from their policy enabled apps. Check basic integrity tells you about the general integrity of the device. Rooted devices, emulators, virtual devices, and devices with signs of tampering fail basic integrity. Check basic integrity & certified devices tells you about the compatibility of the device with Google's services. Only unmodified devices that have been certified by Google can pass this check. Devices that will fail include the following:

• Devices that fail basic integrity
• Devices with an unlocked bootloader
• Devices with a custom system image/ROM
• Devices for which the manufacturer didn't apply for, or pass, Google certification
• Devices with a system image built directly from the Android Open Source Program source files
• Devices with a beta/developer preview system image

See Google's documentation on the SafetyNet Attestation for technical details.

SafetyNet device attestation setting and the 'jailbroken/rooted devices' setting

Google Play Protect's SafetyNet API checks require the end user being online, atleast for the duration of the time when the 'roundtrip' for determining attestation results executes. If end user is offline, IT admin can still expect a result to be enforced from the jailbroken/rooted devices setting. That being said, if the end user has been offline too long, the Offline grace period value comes into play, and all access to work or school data is blocked once that timer value is reached, until network access is available. Turning on both settings allows for a layered approach to keeping end-user devices healthy which is important when end-users access work or school data on mobile.

Google Play Protect APIs and Google Play Services

The app protection policy settings that leverage Google Play Protect APIs require Google Play Services to function. Both the SafetyNet device attestation, and Threat scan on apps settings require Google determined version of Google Play Services to function correctly. Since these are settings that fall in the area of security, the end user will be blocked if they have been targeted with these settings and are not meeting the appropriate version of Google Play Services or have no access to Google Play Services.

This article describes some of the commonly used features of Activity Monitor, a kind of task manager that allows you see how apps and other processes are affecting your CPU, memory, energy, disk, and network usage.

Open Activity Monitor from the Utilities folder of your Applications folder, or use Spotlight to find it.

Overview

The processes shown in Activity Monitor can be user apps, system apps used by macOS, or invisible background processes. Use the five category tabs at the top of the Activity Monitor window to see how processes are affecting your Mac in each category.

Add or remove columns in each of these panes by choosing View > Columns from the menu bar. The View menu also allows you to choose which processes are shown in each pane:

• All Processes
• All Processes Hierarchically: Processes that belong to other processes, so you can see the parent/child relationship between them.
• My Processes: Processes owned by your macOS user account.
• System Processes: Processes owned by macOS.
• Other User Processes: Processes that aren’t owned by the root user or current user.
• Active Processes: Running processes that aren’t sleeping.
• Inactive Processes: Running processes that are sleeping.
• Windowed Processes: Processes that can create a window. These are usually apps.
• Selected Processes: Processes that you selected in the Activity Monitor window.
• Applications in the last 8 hours: Apps that were running processes in the last 8 hours.

CPU

The CPU pane shows how processes are affecting CPU (processor) activity:

Click the top of the “% CPU” column to sort by the percentage of CPU capability used by each process. This information and the information in the Energy pane can help identify processes that are affecting Mac performance, battery runtime, temperature, and fan activity.

More information is available at the bottom of the CPU pane:

• System: The percentage of CPU capability currently used by system processes, which are processes that belong to macOS.
• User: The percentage of CPU capability currently used by apps that you opened, or by the processes those apps opened.
• Idle: The percentage of CPU capability not being used.
• CPU Load: The percentage of CPU capability currently used by all System and User processes. The graph moves from right to left and updates at the intervals set in View > Update Frequency. The color blue shows the percentage of total CPU capability currently used by user processes. The color red shows the percentage of total CPU capability currently used by system processes.
• Threads: The total number of threads used by all processes combined.
• Processes: The total number of processes currently running.

You can also see CPU or GPU usage in a separate window or in the Dock:

• To open a window showing current processor activity, choose Window > CPU Usage. To show a graph of this information in your Dock, choose View > Dock Icon > Show CPU Usage.
• To open a window showing recent processor activity, choose Window > CPU History. To show a graph of this information in your Dock, choose View > Dock Icon > Show CPU History.
• To open a window showing recent graphics processor (GPU) activity, choose Window > GPU History. Energy usage related to such activity is incorporated into the energy-impact measurements in the Energy tab of Activity Monitor.

Memory

The Memory pane shows information about how memory is being used:

More information is available at the bottom of the Memory pane:

• Memory Pressure: The Memory Pressure graph helps illustrate the availability of memory resources. The graph moves from right to left and updates at the intervals set in View > Update Frequency. The current state of memory resources is indicated by the color at the right side of the graph:
  • Green: Memory resources are available.
  • Yellow: Memory resources are still available but are being tasked by memory-management processes, such as compression.
  • Red: Memory resources are depleted, and macOS is using your startup drive for memory. To make more RAM available, you can quit one or more apps or install more RAM. This is the most important indicator that your Mac may need more RAM.
• Physical Memory: The amount of RAM installed in your Mac.
• Memory Used: The total amount of memory currently used by all apps and macOS processes.
  • App Memory: The total amount of memory currently used by apps and their processes.
  • Wired Memory: Memory that can’t be compressed or paged out to your startup drive, so it must stay in RAM. The wired memory used by a process can’t be borrowed by other processes. The amount of wired memory used by an app is determined by the app's programmer.
  • Compressed: The amount of memory in RAM that is compressed to make more RAM memory available to other processes. Look in the Compressed Mem column to see the amount of memory compressed for each process.
• Swap Used: The space used on your startup drive by macOS memory management. It's normal to see some activity here. As long as memory pressure is not in the red state, macOS has memory resources available.
• Cached Files: Memory that was recently used by apps and is now available for use by other apps. For example, if you've been using Mail and then quit Mail, the RAM that Mail was using becomes part of the memory used by cached files, which then becomes available to other apps. If you open Mail again before its cached-files memory is used (overwritten) by another app, Mail opens more quickly because that memory is quickly converted back to app memory without having to load its contents from your startup drive.

For more information about memory management, refer to the Apple Developer website.

Energy

The Energy pane shows overall energy use and the energy used by each app:

• Energy Impact: A relative measure of the current energy consumption of the app. Lower numbers are better. A triangle to the left of an app's name means that the app consists of multiple processes. Click the triangle to see details about each process.
• Avg Energy Impact: The average energy impact for the past 8 hours or since the Mac started up, whichever is shorter. Average energy impact is also shown for apps that were running during that time, but have since been quit. The names of those apps are dimmed.
• App Nap: Apps that support App Nap consume very little energy when they are open but not being used. For example, an app might nap when it's hidden behind other windows, or when it's open in a space that you aren't currently viewing.
• Preventing Sleep: Indicates whether the app is preventing your Mac from going to sleep.

More information is available at the bottom of the Energy pane:

• Energy Impact: A relative measure of the total energy used by all apps. The graph moves from right to left and updates at the intervals set in View > Update Frequency.
• Graphics Card: The type of graphics card currently used. Higher–performance cards use more energy. Macs that support automatic graphics switching save power by using integrated graphics. They switch to a higher-performance graphics chip only when an app needs it. 'Integrated' means the Mac is currently using integrated graphics. 'High Perf.' means the Mac is currently using high-performance graphics. To identify apps that are using high-performance graphics, look for apps that show 'Yes' in the Requires High Perf GPU column.
• Remaining Charge: The percentage of charge remaining on the battery of a portable Mac.
• Time Until Full: The amount of time your portable Mac must be plugged into an AC power outlet to become fully charged.
• Time on AC: The time elapsed since your portable Mac was plugged into an AC power outlet.
• Time Remaining: The estimated amount of battery time remaining on your portable Mac.
• Time on Battery: The time elapsed since your portable Mac was unplugged from AC power.
• Battery (Last 12 hours): The battery charge level of your portable Mac over the last 12 hours. The color green shows times when the Mac was getting power from a power adapter.

As energy use increases, the length of time that a Mac can operate on battery power decreases. If the battery life of your portable Mac is shorter than usual, you can use the Avg Energy Impact column to find apps that have been using the most energy recently. Quit those apps if you don't need them, or contact the developer of the app if you notice that the app's energy use remains high even when the app doesn't appear to be doing anything.

Disk

The Disk pane shows the amount of data that each process has read from your disk and written to your disk. It also shows 'reads in' and 'writes out' (IO), which is the number of times that your Mac accesses the disk to read and write data.

The information at the bottom of the Disk pane shows total disk activity across all processes. The graph moves from right to left and updates at the intervals set in View > Update Frequency. The graph also includes a pop-up menu to switch between showing IO or data as a unit of measurement. The color blue shows either the number of reads per second or the amount of data read per second. The color red shows either the number of writes out per second or the amount of data written per second.

To show a graph of disk activity in your Dock, choose View > Dock Icon > Show Disk Activity.

Network

The Network pane shows how much data your Mac is sending or receiving over your network. Use this information to identify which processes are sending or receiving the most data.

The information at the bottom of the Network pane shows total network activity across all apps. The graph moves from right to left and updates at the intervals set in View > Update Frequency. The graph also includes a pop-up menu to switch between showing packets or data as a unit of measurement. The color blue shows either the number of packets received per second or the amount of data received per second. The color red shows either the number of packets sent per second or the amount of data sent per second.

To show a graph of network usage in your Dock, choose View > Dock Icon > Show Network Usage.

Cache

In macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 or later, Activity Monitor shows the Cache pane when Content Caching is enabled in the Sharing pane of System Preferences. The Cache pane shows how much cached content that local networked devices have uploaded, downloaded, or dropped over time.

Use the Maximum Cache Pressure information to learn whether to adjust Content Caching settings to provide more disk space to the cache. Lower cache pressure is better. Learn more about cache activity.
