Introduction

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is an enterprise endpoint security platform designed to help enterprise networks prevent, detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats.

Defender for Endpoint can provide:

Next-Generation Protection: Designed to catch all types of emerging threats.

Microsoft Defender Antivirus: Cloud-delivered protection for near-instant detection and blocking of new and emerging threats. Always-on scanning using advanced file and process behavior monitoring and other heuristics (also known as “real-time protection”).

Real-time endpoint detection and response insights correlated with endpoint vulnerabilities.

Threat and Vulnerability Management: Discovers vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in real time.

Always remediate PUA: Potentially unwanted applications (PUA) are a category of software that can cause your machine to run slowly, display unexpected ads, or at worst, install other software, which might be unexpected or unwanted.

Tamper protection: During some kinds of cyber-attacks, bad actors try to disable security features, such as anti-virus protection, on your machines.

Web content filtering: Block access to websites containing unwanted content and track web activity across all domains.
