Defender for Endpoint Guardian Overview

Defender for Endpoint Guardian is designed to enhance the security and management of enterprise environments by integrating advanced protection and detection capabilities. Built upon Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, its core purpose is to help organizations prevent, detect, investigate, and respond to threats across their endpoints. It provides comprehensive threat intelligence, endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities, and a unified platform for vulnerability management. Example: In an enterprise scenario, where multiple devices across the network are used by employees, Defender for Endpoint Guardian monitors these endpoints continuously. If an employee encounters a phishing attack through email, Defender for Endpoint can detect unusual behavior and isolate the infected device, allowing security teams to quickly investigate and mitigate the attack without impacting the entire network.
