Endpoint Detection and Response

Have you heard of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint?

Have you heard of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint?

Microsoft has included antivirus with their operating systems for many years, but in my experience very few businesses run Defender as their primary antivirus platform. Even though Defender Antivirus is a good product, it has been difficult to manage across a business, doesn’t have a dedicated console and is missing more advanced features like web content filtering.

I’m sure many people are surprised to hear that Microsoft does actually have a full-featured product designed for business, with a dedicated console. It’s called Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and is like Defender antivirus on steroids, with more advanced Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities.
