r/msp on Reddit: Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is getting an additional SKU
October 20, 2021 -

September 5, 2024 - As the capabilities in Plan 2 are AI-driven, rather than definition based, organizations will be ahead of, and protected against, the latest malware, threats, and zero days. The new P1 offering no longer requires the expensive E5 option; it is included in Microsoft 365 E3 (and A3). It is available for purchase Standalone, meaning organizations that wish to utilize Defender for Endpoint outside of an M365 E3 or E5 agreement are able to purchase either Plan 1 or Plan 2 as a Standalone option.
