iOS Filtering with Defender Endpoint According to App

Hi JedediahB 

 

I think it’s better for you to stay with Defender only, you can block specific domains under Defender for Endpoint portal - settings -> Rules and click on indicator - tab -> URLs/Domains. 

Here is a good guide:

https://jeffreyappel.nl/deploy-microsoft-defender-for-endpoint-on-ios-devices/amp/

 

There is a native way to block domains (Safari Only) under Intune - Configuration Profile - Feature

Hope this helps!

Thanks, Moe! Those are helpful links. However, I'm past those steps. But I'm probably not being specific enough. I would like to

 

- Install a mobileconfig that instructs Defender to allow only a whitelist of URLs

- But specify Safari as exempted from that profile/whitelist.

 

 This is possible, in general, when specifying a third-party content filter in Apple Configurator. Using this method, it allows you to exempt certain apps from the filter. I'm wondering if it's possible to specify Defender as that third-party app . . . 

 

Thanks.

    Got it now! I don’t think it’s available in Defender as 3rd part plug-in. Have you tried it?
