Ex: Northwind employees are highly mobile – with Intune and Conditional Access, Tim ensures secure access to content on-the-go
Higher security requirements when outside corporate network (e.g. multi-factor authentication)
Ensure that mobile devices accessing Power BI content are compliant (e.g. latest OS, 8 digit PIN)
