In your antivirus endpoint security profile, you simply choose yes against turn on network protection.

The problemĬonfiguring network protection should be super straight forward. This blog details the specific problem I had enabling it with Intune (Microsoft Endpoint Manager), and general troubleshooting steps to follow that will help for that problem and hopefully others you may experience. It is a prerequisite for things such as MDE’s web content filtering and URL/domain indicators of compromise. Network protection is a feature of MDE and Microsoft Defender Antivirus (MDAV) that takes the filtering capabilities of SmartScreen and applies them to all network traffic. When configuring Defender for Endpoint (MDE) customer recently, I ran into a problem when trying to enable network protection.
