Palo Alto Networks, the Californian based enterprise security company and VMware recently announced the expansion of their partnership to address mobile security needs.
To address new challenges revolving around mobile computing, these two companies will integrate their enterprise security and mobile management technologies to give organizations a combination of mobile device management (MDM) with threat prevention for secure enterprise BYOD support.

The Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect iOS VPN app deployed by AirWatch is available today. Additional integration components have targeted availability in the second half of 2015.

It works!

Windows : Intune

First of all, what is WS1? I think you should have Intune now as part of your E3 subscription (not sure of it, so please check your billing menu). Intune gives you a lot of flexibility to set rules to deploy to systems.

Compliance check: Intune for the entire fleet. This will allow you to leverage the conditional access capabilities of Azure AD.
