Welcome to the deployment phases of Defender for Endpoint. In this lesson, we’ll take a quick look at the 3 deployment phases of Defender for Endpoint.
Once you’ve gone through the deployment planning for Defender for Endpoint, it’s time to deploy. Deployment of Defender for Endpoint is typically performed in three phases. They include Preparation, Setup, and Onboarding.
It’s during the initial preparation phase that you’ll research things that you need to consider when deploying Defender for Endpoint in your environment. You’ll need to determine who the stakeholders are, who will provide necessary approvals, and you’ll also want to account for environment considerations, access permissions, and adoption order of capabilities.
After working through the Preparation phase of your deployment, you’ll need to work through the Setup phase. During the setup phase, you decide on the steps you need to take to access the portal. Considerations and tasks include license validation, completion of the setup wizard, and network configuration.
The last phase is the Onboarding phase. During this last deployment phase, you learn how to make use of deployment rings, you learn about the supported onboarding tools, based on the type of endpoints you are dealing with, and, of course, configuring available capabilities.
Over the next few lessons, we’ll take a closer look at each deployment phase.
