I've bought an electronic version. Really, it's a lot of details that you can't get in the official documentation, many interesting ideas, points. Musthave for security administrator/consultant.

Excellent book. It helps me a lot in my first days working with Defender. I really like the examples and flows that they provide to respond to incidents and also is a good guide to learn how to build better KQL for Incident Analysis and Threat Hunting

Rather than a cookie cutter approach that merely defines the process of implementing various settings and rules, this book starts out with the history of various exploits, thus explaining why the resultant MDE rules are important, then goes on to explain these settings in detail and context. This makes it easier to understand the why / how relationship for a successful implementation of Defender versus a work that explains what each rule does and how to configure it, but lacks context that allows the reader to understand how these rules compliment each other.Additionaly, the guidance for the actual implementation of MDE is second to none in detail, with sage advice to enable the deployment of accurate and effective rulesets, thus minimizing any unforseen issues that could have substantial business impact.From mitigating performance issues, to implementing MDE across all platforms, this book has it all and I am happy to recommend it.

This is the best source of information around Microsoft Defender for Endpoint you can find.It not only covers the MDE, but provides deep operating guidelines for Endpoint protection, Security Operations, and Incident Response.Highly recommended book.
