Enables automatic resolutions if a unit is compromised or if a user clicks a malicious link
It was quite important to have extra security on our mobile platform because of geopolitical situations, as we are located close to some countries that represent a concern. Defender for Endpoint allows us automatic resolutions if a unit is compromised or if a user clicks a malicious link. Importantly, the experience of an automatic attack disruption is quite positive for the end users. They don't feel supervised, which is essential for mobile phones since they are more private than work computers. The auto-deployed anti-deception techniques are excellent because we have a large fleet on the Norwegian scale. We deployed it for 10,000 clients and about 5,000 servers in three months. Defender for Endpoint's coverage across different platforms in our environment is pretty good. We have devices running Linux, Mac OS, Windows, iOS, and Android. It covers all of them.
