Defender consumption at endpoint
I would like to know the average consumption of memory (RAM, CPU), required space, processor, processor resources for endpoints in the defender execution.
YairVC I agree with jbmartin6 on this one. No one can give you exact amounts, but I think it's helpful to look to general operation consumptions.
Allow me to elaborate a bit here.
In my experience,
Defender uses an average amount of RAM roughly 100MB, this can swing wildly depending on architecture and data sizes.
CPU use is usually around 5%-10%, but if Defender is mitigating a threat or scanning then 20%-30%.
Disk space is sufficient with a few GBs.
These are general observations just to point you in the right direction. Again jbmartin6 is correct if you need exact numbers.
