Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

Securing Cloud PC devices is as important as physical devices. Defender for Endpoint helps to detect, prevent, investigate, and respond to threats against your organization’s endpoints. The built-in intelligence can help stop an attack before it gets out of control. If your organization is using other security products from Microsoft 365, all solutions can collaborate and help create a complete picture of a potential incident.

Enabling Defender for Endpoint in Intune

Getting your Cloud PC devices onboarded into Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is quite simple. The first step is to ensure the service connection to Microsoft Intune is enabled:
