Introduction
First let's start with the differences between Microsoft Defender Antivirus (MDA) and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE)
Microsoft Defender Antivirus is the protection component of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (Microsoft Defender for Endpoint) and is built into Windows. It is available in Windows 10 and Windows 11, and in some versions of Windows Server. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a unified platform for preventative protection, post-breach detection, automated investigation, and response. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's cloud-based portal is Microsoft Defender Security Center. Access to the cloud-based portal is not needed in order to manage client settings. In Configuration Manager you can for example Configure alerts for Endpoint Protection, Configure the default antimalware policy and create custom antimalware policies or create and deploy Windows Firewall policies.
