Seamless Security: How Microsoft Intune and Huntress Work Together
How can growing businesses keep every laptop, mobile, and remote workstation secure without overwhelming their IT teams? For many small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs), managing devices across hybrid environments has become one of their toughest challenges.
As workforces expand and remote operations become standard, every new device introduces a potential cyber security issue. Manual setups, inconsistent configurations, and human error can leave even the most careful organisations exposed.
That’s why forward-thinking SME IT teams are turning to Microsoft Intune and Huntress – a powerful combination that automates device management and strengthens remote security from day one. With Cloud Geeni’s expertise, these tools work together seamlessly to protect every user, every identity, and every endpoint.
The Challenge: Closing the Security Gaps
In many growing businesses, new starters, remote workers, and external contractors all need secure access from day one. But when device setup and security rely on manual processes, things can slip through the cracks.
· Devices might go unprotected for days or weeks.
· Outdated software leaves exploitable vulnerabilities.
· Remote users may never receive essential security updates.
For SMEs without large IT teams, this fragmented approach creates unnecessary risk. One unprotected device could be all it takes for a cybercriminal to gain access – leading to downtime, reputational damage, and even compliance issues.
And the data backs it up: according to the Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025, 43% of businesses experienced at least one cyber incident in the past 12 months. Many of these incidents stemmed from unmanaged or poorly configured endpoints.
That’s why SME IT strategies must now prioritise automated, consistent protection across every device and user. Without it, even the most well-meaning IT processes can leave critical gaps that attackers are quick to exploit.
