New in Augmentt: Effortless Defender Policy Auditing & Deployment

Table of Contents

For MSPs, managing Microsoft Defender policies is a constant frustration:

  • Every tenant has different anti-phishing, anti-spam, and anti-malware settings.
  • Microsoft’s tools are slow, fragmented, and hard to scale.
  • Auditing policies across multiple tenants? Nearly impossible.
  • Policy drift leaves clients exposed without warning. 

 

The result: wasted technician time, inconsistent security, and compliance gaps that are tough to prove.

That’s why Augmentt built a better way.

Introducing Defender Threat Policies in Augmentt

With Defender Threat Policies, Augmentt gives MSPs the power to audit, standardize, and deploy Microsoft Defender configurations across every tenant in minutes, not hours.

  • Full coverage for Anti-Phishing, Anti-Spam, Anti-Malware, Safe Links, and Safe Attachments.
  • Ready-to-use Augmentt Default templates that instantly meet Secure Score requirements.
  • The ability to import and save your own best practices as templates.
  • Baselines to enforce consistent security across multiple tenants automatically.
