Microsoft 365 Defender services
M365 Defender is a comprehensive enterprise security suite that safeguards endpoints, identities, email, and applications.

What are you waiting for? Let's get started!
For the entire 365 experience, each service requires some configuration and onboarding.
💻Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
Do you want to protect your Endpoints with a unified platform built on the latest technology? Defender for Endpoint uses the newest Endpoint Detection Response method, which destroys traditional Anti-virus scans on any benchmark. A single Endpoint Security solution can protect each Endpoint in our environment. As of now, Microsoft supports almost any Operation System💯
Vulnerability Management
As a security expert, you must be aware of your vulnerabilities on every Endpoint. You receive a TVM assessment report that outlines the vulnerabilities you should focus on.
- Continuous vulnerability and configuration finding
- Prioritization based on business context and dynamic threat landscape
- Correlation of vulnerabilities with endpoint detection and response (EDR) alerts to expose breach insights
- Machine-level vulnerability context during incident investigations
- Built-in remediation processes through a unique integration with Microsoft Endpoint Manager

🆔Microsoft Defender for Identity
We must safeguard our estate if you utilize on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), which we almost certainly intend to do for valid cause. We can identify, detect, and investigate threats across all of your user identities on-premises with defender for identity.
Azure AD identity protection
Is Azure AD used in a hybrid or all-cloud environment? It's an obvious decision to enable identity protection. It will automate the discovery and remediation of identity-based vulnerabilities such as impossible travel and password exposures in your Azure AD cloud environment.

📂Microsoft Defender for office 365
Our emails must be routed through Exchange Online for Defender to protect Office 365. If we are in a hybrid identity state, I strongly advise transitioning to full Exchange online, rather than starting with Hybrid Exchange Online.
Email communications, phishing tactics, user education, links, and other channels will be protected.
