Microsoft Defender for business

We roll out Microsoft Defender protection for devices, email and identity. Instead of five separate tools you get one ecosystem and one view of what is happening in the company.

  • ISO/IEC 27001
  • 3000+ workstations
  • Since 2017

Many companies have antivirus, an email filter and sign-in from three different vendors that do not talk to each other. Defender brings together protection for devices, email and identity in Microsoft 365, so an attack is seen as a whole, not in pieces.

What the protection covers

Consistent protection wired into Microsoft 365, driven from one console and visible in one place.

  • Device protection

    Defender for Endpoint on laptops and servers. It detects and stops threats that classic antivirus does not see.

  • Secure email

    Filtering of phishing, malicious attachments and impersonation. Email is the most common route of attack, so we protect it hardest.

  • Identity protection

    Detection of compromised accounts and risky sign-ins. Suspicious user activity becomes an alert, not silence.

  • One events dashboard

    Events from devices, email and identity in one view. An attack that links several stages is seen as a whole, not as scattered signals.

  • Response and maintenance

    We respond to alerts and fine-tune the rules. The protection keeps up with new threats, not stuck on the settings from deployment day.

Antivirus is not the same as Defender

Classic antivirus recognises known threats by signatures. The problem is that a modern attack often does not use a virus in the traditional sense: it uses a stolen password, a malicious link and legitimate system tools. To antivirus everything looks normal, and the company is attacked despite up-to-date protection.

Defender works differently. It analyses behaviour on the device, links it with a suspicious sign-in and an email message, and sees the whole attack chain, not a single file. This way it detects actions that each tool on its own would let through, and lets you respond before the attack develops. That is the difference between reactive protection and protection that understands context.

How deployment works

We enable protection in stages and fine-tune the rules, so alerts carry content, not noise.

  • 2-4 weeksbringing protection online
  • 3 areasdevices, email, identity
  • one consoleshared view of events
  • maintenanceresponse and rule tuning
  1. Review of what already protects you. We check the current antivirus, email filter and licences. Defender often replaces several tools the company already pays for.
  2. Enabling in stages. We bring protection online gradually, watching the impact on work. Without a day when the rules block half the company.
  3. Tuning alerts. We fine-tune the rules so an alert means a real threat. A flood of false alarms is as dangerous as no alerts at all.
  4. Maintenance and response. After deployment we respond to events and update the policies. The protection keeps up with new methods of attack.

Frequently asked questions

How does Defender differ from ordinary antivirus?

Antivirus recognises known threats by signatures. Defender analyses behaviour on the device and links it with suspicious sign-ins and messages, so it sees the whole attack chain. It detects actions that use stolen passwords and legitimate tools, which classic antivirus lets through.

We already have another antivirus, will Defender replace it?

Usually yes. Defender for Endpoint replaces classic antivirus, and adds protection for email and identity. It often lets you drop several separate tools the company already pays for and gather protection in one ecosystem.

Is Defender in our Microsoft 365 licence?

Some Defender features are included in Microsoft 365 plans, and the full versions need higher plans. We check what your current licence covers and pick a plan so the scope of protection matches real needs, without overpaying.

Who responds to alerts after deployment?

As part of maintenance we monitor events and respond to alerts, and tune the rules to the company situation. For organisations needing round-the-clock oversight, we combine Defender with security monitoring in an MDR and SOC model.
