Enabling Web Filtering for Test group
Hello all. We are considering Defender for Endpoint as a potential replacement for our current AV solution. We currently have it enabled for a deeper look into the vulnerabilities and missing upd...
One thing I will caution in regards to web content filtering (WCF) via MDE:
If your organization's internet traffic funnels through a forwarding proxy - you'll probably want to keep an eye on just how much this feature slams your proxy.
We found out the hard way just today that even having it set to audit, we're seeing about a 330% increase in traffic out to the WCF URL hitting our proxy.
So, what may be ~5 million calls per day to the smart screen URL without WCF suddenly becomes ~17 million calls per day with WCF turned on.
