Windows Intune Security Solutions Platform | Smallstep

Secure sensitive resources from unauthorized Windows devices

Microsoft Intune manages Windows fleets, but enrollment does not prove device authenticity. Smallstep integrates with Intune to verify Windows hardware and restrict access to critical resources, including internal AI tools, copilots, and MCP-enabled services, to hardware-attested devices only.

Only issue credentials to verified Windows devices

Smallstep checks every certificate request against your Intune inventory, blocking unrecognized Windows devices from obtaining credentials. This prevents personal, compromised, or rogue machines from accessing sensitive systems using stolen or shared credentials.

Eliminate static secrets

Traditional Windows deployments have relied on vulnerable static SCEP passwords. Smallstep upgrades Windows enrollment security with ACME Device Attestation, issuing hardware-bound, non-exportable credentials. For legacy hardware, Dynamic SCEP enables a smooth migration to secure certificate-based Wi-Fi and VPN authentication.

Zero-touch device configuration

Smallstep automatically deploys secure configuration profiles and credentials for Wi-Fi, VPN, and SaaS apps to all verified Windows devices. Streamline enrollment, eliminate manual steps, and ensure robust, error-free security across your Windows fleet.

Hands-free certificate management

Say goodbye to manual certificate renewals and revocation hassles. Smallstep proactively monitors each certificate’s lifecycle, renewing credentials before they expire and revoking access if a device is off-boarded or compromised. This reduces admin workload, prevents human errors, and keeps your device inventory up to date.

Unified security beyond Windows

Smallstep goes beyond Windows, seamlessly extending centralized, high-assurance device identity to macOS, Linux, and cloud environments. Whether you're using Intune, Jamf, or another MDM, Smallstep provides unified control and security across your entire device fleet.

When Smallstep is added to Intune, a device's hardware identity becomes an authentication factor. Instead of relying solely on shared secrets and user credentials, Smallstep silently verifies device trust —blocking unauthorized machines without adding friction for users.
