Unified security: Intune + Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
Event details
Hi, do you know what is the usual time delay for the different defender channels?
Manage the gradual rollout process for Microsoft Defender updates - Microsoft Defender for Endpoint | Microsoft Learn
We want to start using the channels to test/validate the updates before they're released to everyone, but we don't know how long we have between each channel so we know we have x hours/days before we can try to stop the updates from getting installed.
