Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is an enterprise endpoint security platform published by Microsoft that prevents, detects, investigates, and responds to advanced threats across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and IoT devices. It serves as the endpoint security pillar within the Microsoft Defender suite, integrating with the unified Defender portal to correlate endpoint signals with identity, email, and cloud workload alerts for comprehensive threat visibility. The platform includes Microsoft Defender Antivirus for real-time malware protection, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) for advanced threat investigation, Attack Surface Reduction to block exploit techniques, Vulnerability Management to identify security gaps, Network Protection against malicious connections, Controlled Folder Access to prevent ransomware encryption, and Automated Investigation and Response to accelerate remediation. These components are unified under Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 1 and enhanced in Plan 2, which adds sandboxing, threat analytics, and managed hunting. Security operations analysts, endpoint administrators, and threat hunters use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to gain centralized visibility across hybrid environments, respond to active threats with automated workflows, and proactively reduce risk through continuous monitoring and AI-driven protection.
