Hey there, tech enthusiasts! Big news from Microsoft – the latest update to Microsoft Defender is here to boost your network security game. Now, with Defender isolating undiscovered endpoints, you can rest assured that your network is safe from potential threats.
Enhanced Security with Microsoft Defender
According to Microsoft’s announcement, the new feature in Defender for Endpoint ensures that any attacks are contained by isolating undiscovered endpoints.
Cyberattacks often spread like wildfire across networks, but with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint in place, these lateral movements are effectively blocked. By isolating undiscovered endpoints, the tool prevents any malicious devices from infiltrating your network.
How does Defender achieve this? By implementing IP containing, the tool automatically blocks any IP addresses that are not associated with onboarded devices. This proactive measure stops threats in their tracks.
As Microsoft explains in their post, automatic attack disruption is the key to containing these threats effectively.
Containing suspicious IP addresses is now done automatically through automatic attack disruption, preventing any potential threats from spreading further.
With automatic attack disruption in place, Microsoft ensures that attacks are contained to limit their impact, giving security teams more time to respond effectively.
Users can review the details of any contained IP addresses in the Action Center, allowing them to take action accordingly. The tool also provides the option to stop IP address containment at any time.
But that’s not all – Microsoft Defender for Endpoint goes a step further by containing compromised critical assets and users, ensuring comprehensive protection for your network.
Stay Updated for Enhanced Security
Along with the new IP containing policy, the April 2025 release of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint introduces two new ASR rules, further strengthening your network’s defenses.
To benefit from these updates, make sure to keep your systems up to date with the latest release of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
