The June 2023 service release for Microsoft Intune includes significant additions to security and productivity features, such as Mobile Application Management (MAM) for Microsoft Edge for Business on Windows and the ability to use Intune to manage Windows drivers and firmware updates.
Mobile Application Management (MAM) for Microsoft Edge for Business
Microsoft Edge for Business is now protected by Mobile Application Management (MAM) policies. This means you can now manage Edge for Business with Intune, and use features like app-level PINs, data protection, and app-level restrictions. This provides a secure, managed browser experience for your users.

You can now use Intune to manage Windows drivers and firmware updates. This new capability allows you to ensure that the Windows devices in your organization are always up to date with the latest drivers and firmware. You can also use Intune to deploy drivers and firmware updates to specific devices or device groups.
