Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a complete enterprise endpoint security platform that is used to prevent, detect, investigate, and respond to many different threats to endpoint devices in the enterprise through technologies that are built into windows 10/11 and technologies offered through Microsoft’s cloud services.

Defender for Endpoint leverages the following combination of robust technologies:

Endpoint behavioural sensors - Embedded in Windows 10/11, these sensors collect and process behavioural signals from the operating system and send this sensor data to your private, isolated, cloud instance of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.

Cloud security analytics - Leveraging big data, device learning, and unique Microsoft optics across the Windows ecosystem, enterprise cloud products (such as Office 365), and online assets, behavioural signals are translated into insights, detections, and recommended responses to advanced threats.

Threat intelligence - Generated by Microsoft hunters, Security teams, and augmented by threat intelligence provided by partners, threat intelligence enables Defender for Endpoint to identify attacker tools, techniques, and procedures, and generate alerts when they are observed in collected sensor data.

Centralized configuration and integration with Microsoft solutions – Defender integrations into existing workflows and integrates with solutions such as Defender for cloud, Microsoft Sentinel, Intune, Defender for Cloud Apps, Identity, and Office 365.
