Confusion on the various endpoint, intune, Microsoft Endpoint manager admin center

Hey Team, 

 

Hoping you can assist here. I am trying to better understand the differences between the following: 

 

  1. (MEMAC) Endpoint Security: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (endpoint.microsoft.com) 
  2. (MEMAC) Device (or) other options, because they are all in the same portal. 

If the above is intune, then why is the "Endpoint Security" listed in there separately? I looked and the policies are not the same. in Endpoint security i have Antivirus, Disk Encryption, Firewall, Endpoint Detection and Response. 

 

But in the portal homepage (outside of the endpoint security) I have the regular options like (Devices or Apps) which each has their own policy options. Those I get. I am just a little confused on the various portals and how they interact. 

 

Thanks, 

 

Robert

    "Endpoint Security" is new while the old way was config profile.

    Make sure you are using the link endpoint.microsoft.com portal, which is replacing devicemanagement.microsoft.com as the management portal for Intune.

      devicemanagement.microsoft.com takes me to the same place as endpoint.microsoft.com. I am very confused on all these different portals.
