Microsoft Defender for Business Bitesize
Microsoft Defender for Business is an endpoint security solution designed especially for the small and medium-sized business (up to 300 employees). With this endpoint security solution, your company’s devices are better protected from ransomware, malware, phishing, and other threats.
In these bitesize videos from ACS and Microsoft expert Edd Dale, we highlight what’s included in Defender for Business to enable you to better protect your devices, your data and your business.

Next-generation protection was designed to catch all types of emerging threats. In addition to Microsoft Defender Antivirus, your next-generation protection services include the following capabilities:
• Behavior-based, heuristic, and real-time antivirus protection,
• Cloud-delivered protection
• Dedicated protection and product updates
4 Endpoint Detection and Response
Defender for Endpoint endpoint detection and response capabilities provide advanced attack detections that are near real-time and actionable. Security analysts can prioritise alerts effectively, gain visibility into the full scope of a breach, and take response actions to remediate threats.
5 Auto Investigation and Remediation
As security alerts are triggered, it’s up to your security operations team to look into those alerts and take steps to protect your organization.
Prioritizing and investigating alerts can be very time consuming, especially when new alerts keep coming in while an investigation is going on. Security operations teams can feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of threats they must monitor and protect against. Automated investigation and response capabilities, with self-healing, in Microsoft 365 Defender can help.
