Security auditing is one of the most powerful tools that you can use to maintain the integrity of your network and assets. Auditing can help identify attacks, network vulnerabilities, and attacks against high-value targets. You can specify categories of security-related events to create an audit policy tailored to the needs of your organization using MDM policy or Group policy.

## Config Refresh
|
||||
|
||||
With traditional Group Policy, policies were refreshed on a PC when a user signed in and every 90 minutes by default. Administrators could adjust that timing to be shorter to ensure that the PC's policies were compliant with the management settings set by IT.

By contrast, with an MDM solution like Microsoft Intune<sup>[\[9\]](conclusion.md#footnote9)</sup>, policies are refreshed when a user signs in and then at eight-hour intervals by default. But as more available group policies were implemented through MDM, one remaining gap was the longer period between the reapplication of a changed policy.

Config Refresh allows settings in the Policy configuration service provider (CSP) that drift due to misconfiguration, registry edits, or malicious software on a PC to be reset to the value the administrator intended every 90 minutes by default. It is configurable to refresh every 30 minutes if desired. The Policy CSP covers hundreds of settings that were traditionally set with Group Policy and are now set through MDM.

Config Refresh can also be paused for a configurable period of time, after which it will be reenabled. This is to support scenarios where a helpdesk technician might need to reconfigure a device for troubleshooting purposes. It can also be resumed at any time by an administrator.

## Kiosk mode (Assigned Access and Shell Launcher)
|
||||
|
||||
With Assigned Access, Windows devices restrict functionality to pre-selected applications depending on the user and keep individual identities separate, which is ideal for public-facing or shared devices. Configuring a device as a kiosk is a straightforward process. You can do this locally on the device or remotely using mobile device management.
