Microsoft Defender XDR Implementation

Defender XDR for unified protection across endpoints, identities, email and cloud workloads.Implement and operationalize Microsoft Defender XDR across the agreed security domains to improve prevention, exposure visibility, incident correlation, and automated remediation. The scope includes endpoint onboarding, security policy baselines, investigation workflows, vulnerability prioritization, Sentinel integration, and operational handover.

Ideal for Organizations with Microsoft 365 E5, Defender, or equivalent security licensing that need unified protection across endpoints, identities, email, SaaS applications, and Azure workloads, particularly where tools are deployed but not consistently configured or operationalized.

Deliverables:

• Onboard agreed Windows, macOS, Linux, and server endpoint groups to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint using the approved deployment method.

• Configure Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Identity, Defender for Office 365, and Defender for Cloud Apps for the agreed tenant scope.

• Implement an endpoint security baseline covering attack surface reduction rules, antivirus, web protection, device control, and endpoint detection settings.

• Enable automated investigation and response with approved containment actions, remediation levels, and escalation boundaries.

• Configure exposure and vulnerability management dashboards to prioritize device risk, missing patches, software weaknesses, and security recommendations.

• Integrate Defender XDR incidents and alerts with Microsoft Sentinel and validate cross-domain incident correlation and investigation workflows.

• Provide an operational handover covering policy ownership, alert triage, exception handling, endpoint onboarding, and ongoing tuning
