Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Confusion
- Hi
You are correct, if you have Azure Defender Enabled, they will automatically all be licensed for MDE. Alll but 2019/Linux will be onboarded automatically
You are correct that you can use the anti-malware extensions. It does pratically the same. From within the security center, in Threat & Vulnerability Management you can see if they have AV enabled
If your Linux is in security center, that's all good. Just make sure EDR is enabled for them as well: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-defender-for-endpoint/edr-for-linux-is-now-generally-available/ba-p/2048539
Hey there,
Thank you for the detailed response. This does seem clearer now.
So I guess I can say that my VMs in the subscription which are already protected by the "Azure Defender enabled" Security Center would therefore already have a licence for the EDR which will be automatically onboarded (except Linux/2019) in the new portal?
In terms of AV (in the classic sense) I can also seek to install the Anti-malware extension in the Azure Portal Security Center by installing "endpoint protection solution on virtual machines". Which in turn installs the Microsoft Antimalware extension to supported Windows OS?
Finally, my Linux nodes in the new ATP (Microsoft Defender) portal, I presume that's about as protected as I can get in terms of 'anti-virus' protection once I on-board them?
Much appreciated.
