Hello Stefan Schörling , sorry the delay. In summary (update now): Microsoft antimalware service in Azure is not SCEP. It's Microsoft antimalware for Azure. SCEP is system center endpoint protection and the only way you get it / deploy it is via system center.

  Stefan Schörling - got more details from the Antimalware PM: Microsoft antimalware service in Azure is not SCEP. It's Microsoft antimalware for Azure. SCEP is system center endpoint protection and the only way you get it / deploy it is via system center (not free).

  Stefan Schörling the info that I received from the Antimalware PM was for Azure, but let me double check again and see if applies to on-premises as well.
