Summary
This chapter kick-started your MDE journey by covering the fundamentals. The rate of change across the entire Microsoft 365 Defender suite is staggering, but by understanding things at a foundational level, you will be prepared for architectural decisions and future enhancements.
Specifically, you learned what it means to onboard a device to MDE, the difference between service and client settings, and how to decide which management tools are best for your scenario. You learned about using the Microsoft 365 Defender portal to manage MDE, and how that management continues to the Microsoft Intune admin center. In Chapters 5 through 7, you will dive deeper into this management by learning good practices to follow across Microsoft Intune and other tools. But before that, in the next chapter, we will explore the intricacies of how to get your Windows device into MDE.
