Architecting a deployment framework

Many of you may already have experience in developing an architectural framework for deploying new infrastructure or services, while others may not. We won’t go deep into it here, but after working through this chapter and capturing all the relevant data from your environment, you should aggregate the information into a structured project plan or deployment framework.

- Which antivirus will be used (if not yet adopting the full platform immediately)
- Which Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) product will be used (if not yet adopting the full platform immediately)
- What tenant the data will reside in

Paul Huijbregts

With almost 20 years of industry experience and relevant certifications, Paul Huijbregts has a long history of working with customers across the world leveraging his passion for (Microsoft) security solutions – and being brutally honest about them. After joining Microsoft in 2016 and engaging regularly with Defender for Endpoint teams, Paul moved to Redmond (together with his wife and kids) to join them and become a product manager – in the middle of the pandemic (October 2020). Here, he is on what is called the “Platforms” team, working on solutions across operating systems and environments, focusing primarily on server endpoints and security management. His motto is: “I drink beer and I know Microsoft security things.”

Joe Anich

Joe Anich has 15 years of experience in the IT industry ranging from endpoint management with a focus on SCCM and Intune to endpoint security and incident response. Currently working on Microsoft's Detection and Response Team (DART), he works closely with customers during critical moments. Working in incident response has given Joe insight into SOC operations and how to help teams around the world improve their security posture as a whole.
