How Microsoft Defender is redefining endpoint security?

The Threat Landscape Has Exploded

• Cyberattacks have become faster and more targeted—thousands of devices can be encrypted in under 5 minutes.
• In just the past 18 months, there’s been a 275% increase in ransomware encounters.
• Identities and devices are now the primary entry points for attackers.
• Microsoft blocks 35,000+ such incidents every month.

Defender for Endpoint is Delivering Results

• Despite rising threats, customers using Defender for Endpoint are 300% less likely to get encrypted.
• Microsoft has disabled 120,000+ compromised accounts and protected 180,000+ devices in just six months.

Why CISOs Love It

1. Reduces Attack Surface
   • Detects and fixes vulnerabilities automatically.
   • Uses deception techniques to lure attackers and identify threats early.
2. Accelerates Security Workflows with AI
   • Microsoft Security Copilot (AI-powered assistant) helps speed up investigations and incident response using natural language.
3. Responds Automatically to Active Attacks
   • Defender uses automatic attack disruption to stop live cyberattacks in under 3 minutes.
   • Doesn’t act until it has >99.99% confidence that an attack is occurring—then blocks it instantly.

Real-World Proof

• In a 2024 ransomware attack:
  • Microsoft blocked 99%+ of targeted user devices.
  • Another top EDR vendor protecting the servers failed—100% of those servers were encrypted.
  • The organization has now switched all servers to Microsoft.

Getting Started is Easy

• You can start a free trial, watch demos, download an e-book, or connect with Microsoft’s security team.
• Defender for Endpoint helps organizations stay ahead of threats—without overwhelming their SOC.
