I would like to know if a service included in the Microsoft 365 Business Premium subscription can protect endpoints network when they are not behind an office firewall?

Hi @Jo

Thank you for post!

Microsoft 365 Business Premium includes Microsoft Defender for Business. Defender for Business was built on the capabilities of Defender for Endpoint and provides advanced security protection.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint can help protect endpoints even when they are not connected to office firewall.
to achieve this, you need to Onboard to Defender for Endpoint However Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is not a replacement for a firewall or other network security measures. It is designed to work in conjunction with other security solutions to provide comprehensive protection for your organization's endpoints.
