Microsoft Defender Services in Dubai & UAE
Protect your business across the attack surface with Microsoft Defender. CODE3 helps businesses in Dubai and across the UAE assess, deploy, configure, integrate and manage Microsoft Defender across endpoints, Microsoft 365, email, identities and cloud applications.
Microsoft Defender Security, Configured for Your Business
Microsoft Defender provides a connected security approach across devices, identities, email, applications and cloud environments. But enabling Defender is only the beginning — security policies, endpoint onboarding, attack surface reduction, email protection, identity signals, exclusions, alert handling and integrations all need to be configured according to your environment. CODE3 helps businesses move beyond default Microsoft Defender settings with structured assessment, deployment, configuration, policy tuning, security integration and ongoing support.
Why Businesses Need More Than Basic Antivirus
Modern attacks rarely depend on a single infected computer — endpoint, email, identity and cloud security need to work together.
The Microsoft Defender Ecosystem
Microsoft Defender is Microsoft's security ecosystem for protecting business environments across endpoints, identities, email, applications and cloud services. Microsoft Defender XDR brings signals from multiple security workloads together to support unified investigation, threat hunting and response. Available features depend on the Microsoft product, subscription, licensing plan, platform and configuration.
Endpoint protection, detection, investigation and response for supported devices.
Protection for Microsoft 365 email, links, attachments and collaboration workloads.
Identity threat detection across Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID.
Visibility and control over SaaS applications used across your organization.
Correlates signals across workloads for unified investigation and response.
Identifies vulnerabilities and security gaps and helps prioritize remediation.
Security capabilities for cloud infrastructure and workloads.
Identity protection and access security woven into the Defender ecosystem.
Helps protect sensitive information across Microsoft workloads.
