Windows Defender antivirus and Defender for Endpoint next-gen antivirus
SteBeSec still not clear for me. I perfectly understand that MDE adds additional features besides tradional antivirus.
But this link (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/microsoft-defender-antivirus-in-windows-10?view=o365-worldwide) states that MDE includes "Next-generation protection".
I have read further and understood, that MDE includes PUA (potentially unwanted application) detection. As well as it includes BAFS (Block at first sight) feature. And also there is dynamic emergency updates feature (Cloud-delivered protection and Microsoft Defender Antivirus | Microsoft Docs).
Are these available without MDE?
As mentioned by SteBeSec those advanced features are only available on MDE and not the default Windows Defender AV. I have few videos on my channel as well about this Microsoft Defender for endpoint playlist
