Companies must now consider endpoint detection and response software (EDR) with AI and machine learning capabilities, as well as threat intelligence databases, to function in a safer, evolving digital environment. However, most of the features users expect from popular EDR tools, such as device control, advanced threat targeting, and rollback, are either unavailable or require an additional fee. Microsoft Defender for Endpoints (formerly Defender Advanced Threat Protection) integrates into the source code of Windows, making it an obvious choice for its devices. (It's also available for Mac and Linux.) Defender for Endpoints simplifies management while also providing strong security and a wide variety of standard features.

Advance your journey to Zero Trust with modern endpoints and unified management

The approach to modernizing endpoints is realized with Microsoft 365—and Microsoft Zero Trust is the model for security. With Zero Trust in place, employees can perform from anywhere in the world while maintaining tight control over core security needs. Let the Microsoft intelligent security cloud and endpoint leadership be your guide. Take a look at this infographic and advance your journey toward the Zero Trust model.

Today's workers require adaptability since they often use various devices to accomplish tasks. Microsoft cloud, apps, and endpoints combine services you may already be using, such as Microsoft Intune, which are part of the Microsoft 365 stack designed to help secure access, protect data, and respond and manage risk. Use Endpoint Manager to deploy and configure apps to keep teams connected, apply Azure Virtual Desktop for fast, familiar access to internal resources, access Surface Hub to support a vast device ecosystem, and secure conditional access to mobile apps with Azure Active Directory.

Growing concerns about employee experiences—including securing mobile devices and working with flexibility—call for endpoint modernization. The value in Microsoft 365 is its innovation in secure, cloud-connected management as well as its awareness of employee satisfaction (including the acceleration of onboarding of all workers). Take stock in your endpoint estate and start using modern products like Cloud Configuration and Endpoint Manager to manage Windows devices on-premises today. Review this infographic and discover the key components that enable unified device management.

Today's transforming business scenario calls for an innovative approach. With a higher number of hybrid employees and a growing frontline base, it's more important than ever to secure endpoints, especially mobile. You can future-proof your business and mitigate risks with Microsoft 365. Key capabilities of products like Endpoint Manager, Microsoft Defender, and Azure Active Directory include broad device support, automatic enrollment, configured shared devices, custom device experiences, and more. Review the infographic to learn how to implement and protect every endpoint for remote and hybrid staff and frontline workers.
