Defender for Business
Endpoint Detection & Response for your devices. EDR, automatic attack disruption, and vulnerability management — included in M365 Business Premium.
Antivirus Alone Is No Longer Enough
Most mid-market companies have antivirus — but no Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR). Attacks are detected but not automatically stopped. Ransomware encrypts files before anyone reacts. Vulnerabilities on endpoints remain undiscovered.
Defender for Business is already included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium — EDR, automatic attack disruption, vulnerability management. Provides ~80% of Defender for Endpoint P2 functionality at a fraction of the price. Forrester shows 242% ROI over 3 years.
All that is missing is structured activation and configuration.
