Microsoft recently announced major updates to its Microsoft Defender for Endpoint security solution. This cloud-based security solution provides an additional layer of protection for endpoints, helping organizations detect, prevent and respond to advanced threats.
One of the new features of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is the ability to automatically quarantine infected endpoints. This prevents the spread of malware and other threats within an organization’s network. In addition, the solution now offers support for Apple and Android devices, in addition to Windows devices. This means that companies can now protect their entire fleet of devices with a single security solution.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint also includes integration with Microsoft Cloud App Security. This integration provides organizations with visibility and control over cloud apps and services used by their employees. It helps organizations identify and remediate cloud app-specific risks and enables them to enforce policies to protect sensitive data.
Another update to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is the ability to detect and respond to threats across multiple endpoints. With the new Microsoft Defender for Endpoint portal, security teams can easily manage and investigate alerts across all devices in their organization to quickly identify and respond to potential threats.
Overall, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint provides a comprehensive and integrated security solution that helps organizations protect their endpoints from a wide range of advanced threats, including malware, ransomware and phishing attacks. The new features and capabilities make it even more effective to protect devices across an organization’s fleet, regardless of the platform or operating system used.
