Overview of Attack Surface Reduction Rules in Intune MEM
In this guide, we will understand what are Attack Surface Reduction Rules in Intune (MEM). Using Intune, you can create and configure ASR Rules for your organization. Let’s understand what are Attack Surface Reduction Rules and list of ASR rules available for configuration.
The Attack Surface reduction rules that you create in Intune (MEM) apply to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 2, Microsoft 365 Defender and Microsoft Defender Antivirus.

Microsoft recommends you to test how Intune ASR rules will impact your organization before enabling them by running ASR rules in audit mode for a brief period of time.

Start with a small, controlled group to limit potential work disruptions, and later you can expand your deployment across your organization.
Attacks Surface Reduction is a complex topic, and there are many aspects to consider. To make it easier I am going to list some resources for getting started with Attack Surface Reduction rules in Intune.

What are Attack Surfaces?
Attack surfaces are all the places where your organization is vulnerable to cyberthreats and attacks. Defender for Endpoint includes numerous capabilities to help reduce your attack surfaces.
All the points where your company is exposed to cyberthreats and attacks are known as attack surfaces. Various features in Defender for Endpoint might help you decrease your attack surfaces.
Methods to Configure ASR Capabilities
When you configure attack surface reduction capabilities, you can choose from among several methods:
