Holistic approach to Cybersecurity
MDE is Microsoft's latest cybersecurity tool which takes a holistic approach to protect my organization from known and zero-day threats. I love the fact that I don't need to stitch together a diverse solution to increase my organization's security posture. I only have to use one login to manage my dashboard. MDE is compatible with all endpoints in my organization. I have macOS, iOS, Windows server, Windows 10, and Ubuntu Linux on-boarded. It is an EDR, XDR that is mapped against the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
- Compatible with macOS, iOS, Android, Windows Server, Windows 10 and Linux
- It runs natively on Windows it is not a bolted on solution. Once you have the correct license it is easy enough to light up the application to protect the endpoint
- Integrated with Microsoft Intune
- It is designed to detect and remediate adversary tactics from the MITRE knowledge base.
- Microsoft analyzes billions of signals daily to detect attacks against O365 tenants these same signals are fed into ML to further fine-tune MDE. How many other solutions out there will have access to this vast amount of data to analyze to train their ML?
- Automated detection and remediation of threats with a graphical timeline view of how the treat got into the device and was stopped
- It has its own vulnerability scanner to feed data into the dashboard so you can see daily which endpoints need to be patch first based on its value
- It comes with an advanced hunting tool using the kusto query language to search your tenant for threats
- It can keep 180 days of log data
- From one bundled license I can protect Exchange online email, Sharepoint, Microsoft Teams, One Drive, Azure identities, AD, endpoints
- Web filtering on the macOS it not available yet
- They recently made it easier to on-board macOS endpoints using Microsoft Intune by deploying it as an app. It used to take a lot of more configuration profiles to set up. For older macOS Sierra using the older extensions it will still require the multiple steps to on-board to MDE
- They need to integrate Microsoft Cloud app into the new dashboard of MDE
- Reduce the memory overhead of the mdatp agent running on Linux
- Holistic cybersecurity tool
- Compatibility with all of my OS
- It is like having my own SOC for my small organization

- You will have to move up to Microsoft 365 E5
- You can get rid of other 3rd party security tools and just use the Microsoft ecosystem
MDE is a complete solution from one vendor.
Yes
I was using Avast Business edition to protect my macOS endpoints. I decided to go with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to get deeper protection. I don't like the idea of having to log in to different portals to manage my endpoint protection.
