Mobile Device Management Integrations
Amplify your endpoint management & security with Portnox Cloud MDM integrations.
Portnox delivers automated device compliance orchestration that integrates seamlessly with your existing MDM infrastructure. Our platform enables continuous authentication and authorization, ensuring every device meets your security baseline before accessing network resources—enforcing zero trust principles at scale without adding operational friction.
Some of our most popular out-of-the-box MDM integrations
Leverage integrations with Microsoft Intune & Jamf
Without a mobile device management solution, your IT department would be drowning in requests to join devices to the network, but the last thing you need is yet another tool that operates in a silo. Portnox Cloud integrates with both Jamf and Microsoft Intune, and can easily mesh with your current endpoint environment and management requirements.
Level up your risk assessment capabilities with Portnox’s AgentP
AgentP offers a number of configuration, risk assessment, and compliance enforcement benefits beyond what Microsoft Intune and Jamf provide out of the box. Enforce security policies like no jailbreaking/rootkitting, require passcodes, block devices from certain locations, and more – everything you need to allow your users the freedom to BYOD without keeping IT up at night. And speaking of getting a good night’s sleep, Portnox Cloud has all the benefits of a true cloud-native solution like no weekend maintenance or upgrades.

FAQs
What is Mobile Device Management (MDM)?
Mobile Device Management (MDM) is a security framework used to manage, configure, and enforce policies on devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets. MDM platforms help IT teams apply security settings, deploy apps, and monitor compliance. Portnox Cloud complements MDM by using compliance and posture signals to control whether devices can access your network and critical applications.
How does Portnox Cloud work with MDM platforms like Intune or Jamf?
Portnox Cloud integrates with popular MDM platforms such as Microsoft Intune and Jamf to leverage device compliance data during access decisions. This allows organizations to use MDM-driven posture signals—like encryption, OS version, and security settings—to determine whether endpoints should be granted access, quarantined, or blocked. The result is stronger, identity- and device-aware access control.
How does Portnox Cloud use MDM compliance to make access decisions?
Portnox Cloud pulls real-time compliance signals from your MDM and enforces policy at the moment a device connects. If a device is non-compliant—such as missing encryption, using an outdated OS, or failing security baselines—Portnox can automatically restrict, quarantine, or block access until the endpoint meets policy requirements. This helps ensure only compliant devices connect to sensitive resources.
Can Portnox Cloud enforce network access based on MDM device posture?
Yes. Portnox Cloud uses MDM device posture signals to enforce access control across wired and wireless networks. Rather than relying on static credentials, Portnox evaluates whether the device meets required security standards before granting access. This approach reduces risk from misconfigured or vulnerable devices and helps IT teams apply consistent policy enforcement without manual network reconfiguration.
Can Portnox Cloud streamline certificate-based authentication using MDM?
Yes. Portnox Cloud works with MDM solutions to simplify certificate-based authentication at scale using SCEP, enabling secure onboarding without manual certificate provisioning. This supports stronger, passwordless network authentication while reducing IT overhead. Devices can be issued certificates automatically through existing MDM workflows, making authentication more secure and easier to manage across the organization.
Does Portnox Cloud support BYOD when MDM isn’t required or available?
Yes. Portnox Cloud supports BYOD scenarios even when MDM enrollment isn’t required or possible. Organizations can apply separate policies for managed vs unmanaged devices, limiting access for personal endpoints while still enabling productivity. This allows security teams to enforce least-privilege access and reduce exposure without forcing every user-owned device into full device management.
Why isn’t MDM alone enough to secure network access?
MDM helps manage endpoints, but it doesn’t control what happens when devices attempt to connect to the network. Portnox Cloud fills that gap by enforcing real-time access decisions using identity, device posture, and compliance signals from MDM. This ensures devices aren’t just “managed,” but actively prevented from connecting when they’re risky, unmanaged, or out of policy.
Modernize access control. Instantly.
