Enterprise endpoint security platform providing threat protection, detection, and response capabilities.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is an enterprise endpoint security platform providing preventive protection, post-breach detection, automated investigation, and response capabilities. It includes next-generation antivirus, endpoint detection and response (EDR), attack surface reduction, and threat analytics. Defender for Endpoint integrates with the broader Microsoft security ecosystem, correlating signals across endpoints, email, identity, and cloud applications.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
Defender for Endpoint provides enterprise-grade EDR included with Microsoft 365 E5 or as standalone. For Microsoft environments, it offers deep integration that third-party solutions can't match. It's a strong choice for organisations standardised on Microsoft.
