Endpoint protection with Microsoft Defender is simpler and more powerful than ever
Endpoint attacks are moving faster than teams can respond manually. This video shows how Microsoft Defender makes endpoint protection simpler and more powerful with AI-driven attack disruption that proactively defends critical assets during an active threat. Watch the video to see how Defender keeps your environment protected without adding operational complexity.
What is Microsoft Defender endpoint protection?
Microsoft Defender endpoint protection is a security solution designed to help protect your organization’s devices and critical assets from modern cyberattacks. It focuses on detecting, disrupting, and responding to threats across your endpoint estate.
With Defender, you get:
- Attack disruption capabilities that proactively defend critical assets while an attack is in progress, helping you contain threats faster.
- Customizable telemetry data collection so you can decide what security and diagnostic data is gathered from endpoints, aligning with your compliance and privacy needs.
- Simplified, secure deployment that supports diverse environments, making it easier to roll out protection across different device types and locations.
Together, these capabilities help you reimagine how you secure endpoints, moving from reactive defense to more proactive protection.
How does attack disruption in Microsoft Defender work?
Attack disruption in Microsoft Defender is designed to step in during an active attack, not just after the fact. Instead of only alerting your team, Defender can automatically take targeted actions to protect critical assets.
In practice, this can include:
- Identifying suspicious behavior that indicates an attack is underway.
- Proactively isolating or limiting access to affected endpoints to reduce lateral movement.
- Prioritizing protection of your most critical assets so they remain secure while you investigate and remediate.
This approach helps you rethink incident response by combining automated disruption with your existing security operations, so your team can focus on investigation and recovery rather than manual containment steps.
How flexible is deployment and data collection?
Microsoft Defender is built to support a wide range of environments and security requirements, helping you reshape how you deploy and manage endpoint protection.
Key areas of flexibility include:
- Customizable telemetry data collection: You can configure what telemetry is collected from endpoints, allowing you to balance security visibility with privacy, compliance, and bandwidth considerations.
- Simplified, secure deployment: Defender is designed for streamlined rollout across diverse estates, including different device types and locations, so you can standardize protection without overcomplicating your deployment process.
By tuning telemetry and deployment to your specific needs, you can align endpoint protection with your organization’s risk profile and operational realities.
