Using Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 to create an Endpoint Detection and Response solution

It has been established best practice to supplement Microsoft Windows with third-party endpoint security solutions that defend against viruses, malware, internet-based, and other threats. With each iteration of Windows, Microsoft has added security measures that are native to the OS like Windows Defender, Security policy editor, and more. Microsoft has made many noticeable advances in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 that improves the overall security posture of endpoints. This new modern Windows enterprise ecosystem, when utilized properly, can be leveraged like an Endpoint Detection and Response capability. This capability can be achieved without third party software and can reduce costs to the enterprise that can be reinvested into other projects.
