Microsoft Defender

Endpoint protection from cyber-attacks for all of your devices.

What is Defender?

Microsoft Defender provides endpoint protection. It protects your PCs, laptops, tablets, phones, and cloud services (like Office 365 and Azure) from a cyber-attack.

Microsoft Defender is widely recognised as a leader in this space, alongside products like CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, Trend Micro, Sophos, and Sentinel One. Microsoft Defender works across Windows/Linux/Mac OS/iOS/Android devices to help you secure your complete IT estate.

Why Would I Choose Defender Rather than Sophos or CrowdStrike?

Defender was developed by Microsoft and is thoroughly integrated with all the other Microsoft products you already use.

Defender’s features also include:

Endpoint Protection: Provides advanced threat detection and response capabilities for your devices.

Cross-Platform Support: Works across Windows, Linux, Mac OS, iOS, and Android devices.

Cloud Security: Secures multi-cloud and hybrid environments with comprehensive cloud security posture management and threat protection services.

Which Defender Partner Should I Work With?

When selecting a Defender partner, you should look for three things:

Breadth of Capability

Defender will be an important piece of your cyber defence - but is only part of it. You need to work with a partner who can help you take a comprehensive approach - from audit to endpoint protection, and from penetration testing to outsourced identity management services.
