Intune integration with Kaspersky EDR Optimum: can it replace Defender for Business?
Hi
In your case, I’m not sure if your current license plan supports Defender or if you are already using Kaspersky EDR Optimum, so I can’t say whether it makes sense for you.
If you already have both, and you understand how Kaspersky works, then it could be feasible.
It is possible to integrate another antivirus agent via Intune, which can be provisioned either during deployment or as a "required" win32 app deployment. In this way, your new AV Endpoint Agent will be installed and become the primary visible security solution, basically replacing Defender as the default antivirus on the system and taking over the role of active endpoint protection.
So far, I haven't integrated Kaspersky as a replacement for Defender, but I have used similar antivirus products that replaced Defender.
Good luck!
