Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

An important step to keep your desktop safe is to make sure that it is protected against malware. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) is a great solution to make sure that threats are detected and mitigated. As an enterprise endpoint security platform, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint can detect, prevent, investigate, and respond to advanced attacks.

Note

Did you know that MDE not only keeps your desktops safe? It can also keep other endpoints safe, including smartphones, tablets, servers, and even network endpoints such as access points, routers, and firewalls.

Requirements for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

The following are the more common requirements for desktops:

• A Defender for Endpoint license. This could be a Plan 1 or Plan 2 license.
• Microsoft Defender for Business (if the company is a small business).
• An up-to-date browser as management is done via a web page. Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome are supported.
