Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
Microsoft defender for endpoint has helped me prevent my organization network from malwares, ransomware etc. We have also used it in incidence response. For a possible breach we are using defender for Endpoints to quickly identify the compromised endpoint, investigate the incident, and automatically initiate remediation actions, isolating the threat. This rapid response minimizes damage and prevents lateral movement across the network.
- Incidence Response
- Threat Intelligence
- Real time monitoring
- Third party integration with Microsoft defender for endpoint is tough as its not compatible with many systems
- Custom rule creation and enhanced analytics features needs a lot of improvement
- It should be compatible with MacOS and Linux as well
- Positive - Alot of money saved because of looming security threats today in Work from Home environments. Lesser IT cost because of its automation capabilities has made it a really good choice
- Positive - Because of enhanced security , downtimes are reduced thus profits are increased
- Negative- Training cost is something which could have been avoided if this defender had some integration with self training modules
- Negative - Too much costly. Integration cost, new setup cost, ongoing licensing cost etc is too high
- Cloud Solutions
Because of Work from home environments, We have a lot of endpoints ( Mobiles, Tablets and Computers) connected to our system via various cloud solutions and there is always a threat looming about data breech, malwares , ransomwares etc. And This defender has helped us to establish a security framework which mitigated the risk. Also the incidence response stated earlier is awesome because of its automated response system.
Incidence response system - We are majorly using incidence response to mitigate the risk of data breech. In case of data breech it can alert us and apply some practices to mitigate the risk automatically without and IT team intervention. Also the real time monitoring helps us to continuously keep check on the issues happening around.
12000+ endpoints we are protecting. Also We are mostly using Windows server for now.
