App Protection for unmanaged devices is known as MAM without enrolment (MAM-WE). MAM-WE is commonly used for personal or bring your own devices (BYOD). Or, use on organisation-owned devices that need specific app configuration, or extra app security.

MAM-WE is also an option for users who don’t enroll their personal devices, but still need access to organisation email.

See in Action

App Protection can be validated on the device by the user. Observing our enroled device in Outlook, we can test cut, copy and paste restrictions that are being enforced by our App Protection policy.

For the purposes of this demonstration, we have received an email from our fictional organisation that contains sensitive information. We will attempt to exfiltrate this information by means of Copy and Paste.

Copying text from the body of the email, we close Outlook and then open the native Notes app. Attempting to paste the copied information, App Protection replaces the original text in the clipboard cache with “Your orginastion’s data cannot be pasted here”.

Within the Endpoint Manager portal, we can validate which apps App Protection is applied to by app or user. Navigating to Apps > Monitor > App Protection Status > Reports.

Selecting the User Report, we choose the enroled user – johndoe@traininguemauthority.onmicrosoft.com.

The report shows iOS – MAM Policy is successfully applied against Microsoft Outlook.
