• Configure antimalware policies, Windows Firewall settings, and manage Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection to selected groups of computers
• Use Configuration Manager software updates to download the latest antimalware definition files to keep client computers up-to-date
• Send email notifications, use in-console monitoring, and view reports. These actions inform administrative users when malware is detected on client computers.

Beginning with Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 computers, Windows Defender is already installed. For these operating systems, a management client for Windows Defender is installed when the Configuration Manager client installs. On Windows 8.1 and earlier computers, the Endpoint Protection client is installed with the Configuration Manager client. Windows Defender and the Endpoint Protection client have the following capabilities:

• Malware and spyware detection and remediation
• Rootkit detection and remediation
• Critical vulnerability assessment and automatic definition and engine updates
• Network vulnerability detection through Network Inspection System
• Integration with Cloud Protection Service to report malware to Microsoft. When you join this service, the Endpoint Protection client or Windows Defender downloads the latest definitions from the Malware Protection Center when unidentified malware is detected on a computer.

Note

The Endpoint Protection client can be installed on a server that runs Hyper-V and on guest virtual machines with supported operating systems. To prevent excessive CPU usage, Endpoint Protection actions have a built-in randomized delay so that protection services do not run simultaneously.

In addition, you manage Windows Firewall settings with Endpoint Protection in the Configuration Manager console.

Example scenario: Using System Center Endpoint Protection to protect computers from malware in System Center Configuration Manager Endpoint Protection and the Windows Firewall.

Managing Malware with Endpoint Protection

Endpoint Protection in Configuration Manager allows you to create antimalware policies that contain settings for Endpoint Protection client configurations. Deploy these antimalware policies to client computers. Then monitor compliance in the Endpoint Protection Status node under Security in the Monitoring workspace. Also use Endpoint Protection reports in the Reporting node.

Managing Windows Firewall with Endpoint Protection

Endpoint Protection in Configuration Manager provides basic management of the Windows Firewall on client computers. For each network profile, you can configure the following settings:

• Enable or disable the Windows Firewall.

• Block incoming connections, including those in the list of allowed programs.

• Notify the user when Windows Firewall blocks a new program.

Note

Endpoint Protection supports managing the Windows Firewall only.

For more information, see How to create and deploy Windows Firewall policies for Endpoint Protection.

Endpoint Protection manages and monitors Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), formerly known as Windows Defender ATP. The Microsoft Defender ATP service helps enterprises detect, investigate, and respond to advanced attacks on the corporate network.

What’s new in the latest release

Since the announcement of the public preview, Microsoft has been working non-stop to enhance the product, by listening to customer feedback. We've added management features and more granular controls for diagnostic data collection, refined the user experience, and fixed bugs.

How to install Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac

Prerequisites

• Access to the Microsoft Defender Security Center portal
• Beginner-level experience in macOS and BASH scripting
• Administrative privileges on the device (in case of manual deployment)

System requirements

Caution

The three most recent major releases of macOS are supported. Beta versions of macOS are not supported.

• Supported macOS versions: 10.14 (Mojave), 10.13 (High Sierra), 10.12 (Sierra)
• Disk space: 650 MB

After you've enabled the service, you may need to configure your network or firewall to allow outbound connections between it and your endpoints.

The following table lists the services and their associated URLs that your network must be able to connect to. You should ensure that there are no firewall or network filtering rules that would deny access to these URLs, or you may need to create an allow rule specifically for them.

Microsoft Defender ATP can discover a proxy server by using the following discovery methods:

• Web Proxy Auto-discovery Protocol (WPAD)
• Manual static proxy configuration

If a proxy or firewall is blocking anonymous traffic, make sure that anonymous traffic is permitted in the previously listed URLs.

To test that a connection is not blocked, open https://x.cp.wd.microsoft.com/api/report and https://cdn.x.cp.wd.microsoft.com/ping in a browser.

If you prefer the command line, you can also check the connection by running the following command in Terminal:

The output from this command should be similar to the following:

OK https://x.cp.wd.microsoft.com/api/report

OK https://cdn.x.cp.wd.microsoft.com/ping

Caution

We recommend that you keep System Integrity Protection (SIP) enabled on client machines. SIP is a built-in macOS security feature that prevents low-level tampering with the OS, and is enabled by default.
