What is Microsoft Defender for Endpoint?

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a comprehensive endpoint security solution that provides preventative protection, post-breach detection, automated investigation, and response. It is used by organizations to protect their endpoints (desktops, laptops, servers, and mobile devices) from a wide range of threats, including malware, ransomware, and advanced persistent threats (APTs). It leverages cloud-based machine learning, big-data analysis, and threat intelligence to detect and respond to threats effectively.
