Microsoft Defender for Endpoint P2 – 100 Users [Subscription]

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint P2 100 Users

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint P2 100 Users provides enterprise endpoint security capabilities for 100 licensed users. Help your security team prevent threats, investigate suspicious endpoint activity, and respond to incidents through a centrally managed security service.

Also known as Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 2, this subscription combines foundational endpoint protection with endpoint detection and response, automated investigation and remediation, and core vulnerability management capabilities.

Strengthen Endpoint Protection

Business devices are frequently used to access applications, handle documents, and connect to organizational resources. Protecting these endpoints is an important part of maintaining a dependable security environment.

Defender for Endpoint P2 includes the capabilities of Plan 1, such as next-generation protection and attack surface reduction. These controls help organizations reduce exposure to malicious software and common attack techniques.

Effective protection requires appropriate configuration and supported devices. Administrators should review existing security software, confirm compatibility, and select settings that reflect the organization’s operational requirements.

Investigate Threats with Endpoint Detection and Response

Endpoint detection and response, commonly called EDR, helps security teams examine suspicious behavior and understand activity on onboarded devices.

Instead of relying only on an individual alert, investigators can review relevant endpoint information to assess what happened and determine the next steps. This supports a more informed response when potentially malicious activity is detected.

For example, a security analyst could investigate an alert associated with an employee’s device, review related activity, and decide whether additional investigation or an available response action is appropriate.

Support Automated Investigation and Remediation

Security teams often need to handle multiple alerts while maintaining consistent investigation procedures. Defender for Endpoint P2 includes automated investigation and remediation capabilities to help assess supported threats and carry out appropriate remediation actions.

The level of automation and approval requirements depend on the configuration. Administrators should review how automated actions fit the organization’s incident response process.

Automation supports security operations, but ongoing oversight remains important. Teams should monitor investigation results, review unresolved issues, and maintain clear responsibilities for responding to significant incidents.

Identify Vulnerabilities and Configuration Issues

Defender for Endpoint P2 includes core Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management capabilities. These support device and software inventory, vulnerability assessment, configuration assessment, risk-based prioritization, and remediation tracking.

This information helps teams identify weaknesses and decide which corrective work should receive attention first. Security and IT operations teams can use the findings to coordinate software updates and configuration improvements.

Premium vulnerability management capabilities require an additional qualifying license or add-on. This subscription does not include every feature offered by the standalone Defender Vulnerability Management solution.

Manage a 100-User Deployment

This offer provides 100 user subscription licenses. Each licensed user can have protection for up to five eligible client or mobile devices designated for that user’s use, subject to Microsoft licensing terms.

The allowance is tied to licensed users. It should not be interpreted as an unrestricted pool covering any 500 unrelated devices or users.

Servers are excluded from the user device allowance and require appropriate server licensing. Review shared-device arrangements and other deployment scenarios against the applicable Microsoft terms before onboarding.

Plan Onboarding and Daily Operations

Before deployment, identify the users and devices that need protection. Confirm supported operating systems, connectivity requirements, administrator permissions, and any prerequisites for the intended capabilities.

Onboard devices using a supported deployment method and verify that they report correctly. A staged rollout gives administrators an opportunity to review compatibility and policy behavior before expanding coverage.

Maintain a regular process for reviewing alerts, investigating incidents, and tracking remediation work. Endpoint security is most useful when it is supported by clear ownership and consistent operational procedures.
