Intune – How to start pushing out Defender for Endpoint on Windows Devices automatically?

Liam1 Comment

All Windows devices come with their own anti-virus – Windows Defender, but what is Defender For Endpoint, and how do we start pushing it out to our corporate devices?

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is an enterprise-level security platform designed to help businesses prevent, detect, investigate, and respond to advanced cyber threats on their devices (also known as “endpoints” — like computers, laptops, and mobile devices).

Key Features:

  1. Threat Protection – Detects and blocks malware, ransomware, and other types of cyberattacks.
  2. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) – Monitors activities on devices to spot suspicious behavior and helps investigate attacks.
  3. Attack Surface Reduction – Limits the ways attackers can get into systems (e.g., controlling app behavior or blocking malicious websites).
  4. Automated Investigation and Response – Uses AI to analyze threats and take action without needing manual input every time.
  5. Threat Intelligence – Uses data from Microsoft’s global threat database to identify new and emerging threats.

It’s like a smart security system for all company devices — watching for problems, alerting IT teams, and even taking action automatically to keep everything safe.

Providing you have the correct licenses, this post will show you how I push out Defender for Endpoint with devices enrolled into Intune.

In this post I’m going to show what happens, when you receive the following;
