S01E41 - Enabling Microsoft Defender Web Protection (Proxy) in the Defender Security Center (I.T)

Steve and Ben drag Adam trough more security stuff. Adam is thrilled.

Microsoft released a new Web protection feature on securitycenter.microsoft.com which uses the 3rd party Cyren web proxy. This does require an E5 License.

Looks like we might have forgotten to enable network protection which can be done either by policy from the Microsoft Defender ATP security baseline or the endpoint protection configuration profile. You can also do this using PowerShell with the following command:
Set-MpPreference -EnableNetworkProtection Enabled
