Microsoft 365 Defender for Endpoints

It is an enterprise security platform that helps prevent, detect, investigate and respond to advanced threats on network devices. This platform uses sensors built into Windows 10 that send behavioral data to the Microsoft cloud, where it is analyzed and alerts and response prompts are generated. In addition, Microsoft 365 Defender for endpoints benefits from threat intelligence provided by Microsoft's security teams and partners, as well as integration with other Microsoft 365 Defender solutions, such as identity, email and application protection. It is a market-leading solution that has proven its effectiveness in independent evaluations such as MITRE ATT&CK.

Some of the core capabilities of Microsoft 365 Defender for Endpoints are:

• Vulnerability Management: Discovers, assesses, prioritizes and remediates vulnerabilities and misconfigurations on devices using a risk-based approach.
• Attack surface reduction: Applies preventive measures to block common attacker techniques such as script execution, code injection or persistence.
• Next-generation protection: Uses advanced techniques such as machine learning, behavioral analysis and reputation-based protection to stop malware and unknown threats.
• Endpoint detection and response: Monitors and analyzes sensor data to detect suspicious or malicious activity on devices and provides tools to investigate and respond to incidents.
• Automated investigation and remediation: Accelerates the response process through automated workflows that perform forensic analysis and corrective actions on affected devices.
