Technology explained

What is Microsoft Defender?

Microsoft Defender is a family of security products covering endpoints, identities, cloud applications, email and cloud infrastructure. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.

The individual services collect telemetry and detections that can be correlated in the Microsoft security platform. Licensing, onboarding, sensor health, policy scope and response authority determine what protection is actually active in a tenant.
