Securing Device Management with SCEP and Intune

Euna Solutions, a leader in providing software solutions, was in the process of implementing Intune SCEP to strengthen its security by enabling certificate-based authentication for devices and users. However, the project faced significant challenges:

• Incomplete Configuration: The SCEP setup remained unfinished, leaving gaps in the system’s security and functionality.
• Third-Party Cloud CA Integration: The project required the integration of a third-party cloud certificate authority, which added complexity due to compatibility and configuration challenges.
• Need for Secure Access: Euna required tenant access controls that ensured both device and user certificate validation, securing access to sensitive systems and data.

BitSummit was tasked with completing the SCEP configuration, seamlessly integrating the third-party cloud CA, and ensuring that the system functioned according to Euna’s security requirements.
