Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on iOS along with Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Entra ID enables enforcing Device compliance and Conditional Access policies based on device risk score. Defender for Endpoint is a Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) solution that you can deploy to use this capability via Intune.
By default, Defender for Endpoint on iOS includes and enables web protection, which helps to secure devices against web threats and protect users from phishing attacks. Anti-phishing and custom indicators (URL and Domain) are supported as part of web protection. IP based custom indicators are currently not supported on iOS. Web Content Filtering is currently not supported on mobile platforms (Android and iOS).
While enabled by default, there might be some cases that require you to disable VPN. For example, you want to run some apps that don't work when a VPN is configured. In such cases, you can choose to disable VPN from the app on the device by following these steps:
Web protection is one of the key features of Defender for Endpoint and it requires a VPN to provide that capability. The VPN used is a local/loopback VPN and not a traditional VPN, however there are several reasons for which customers might not prefer the VPN. If you don't want to set up a VPN, you can disable web protection and deploy Defender for Endpoint without that feature. Other Defender for Endpoint features continue to work.
This configuration is available for both the enrolled (MDM) devices and unenrolled (MAM) devices. For customers with MDM, admins can configure web protection through managed devices in the App Config. For customers without enrollment, using MAM, admins can configure the web protection through managed apps in the App Config.
The WebProtection key is not applicable for the Control Filter in the list of supervised devices. If you want to disable web protection for supervised devices, you can remove the Control Filter profile.
Network protection in Microsoft Defender for endpoint is disabled by default. Admins can use the following steps to configure network protection. This configuration is available for both enrolled devices through MDM config and unenrolled devices through MAM config.
On the Settings page, add DefenderNetworkProtectionEnable as the key and the value as false to disable network protection. (Network protection is enabled by default.)
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on iOS enables the App Protection Policy scenario. End-users can install the latest version of the app directly from the Apple app store. Ensure the device is registered to Authenticator with the same account being used to onboard in Defender for successful MAM registration.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint can be configured to send threat signals to be used in App Protection Policies (APP, also known as MAM) on iOS/iPadOS. With this capability, you can use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to protect access to corporate data from unenrolled devices as well.
If you're using MDM, your admins can configure privacy controls through Managed devices in the App Config. If you're using MAM without enrollment, your admins can configure privacy controls through Managed apps in the App Config. End users also can configure privacy settings in Microsoft Defender app settings.
Customers can now enable privacy control for the phish report sent by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on iOS so that the domain name isn't included as part of a phish alert whenever a phish website is detected and blocked by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
For supervised devices, end-user controls aren't visible. Your admin decides and controls the settings. However, for unsupervised devices, the control is displayed under the Settings > Privacy.
If enabled by an admin, users can specify whether to send unsafe site info to their organization. By default, it's set to false, which means unsafe site information isn't sent. If user toggles it to true, unsafe site details are sent.
On Supervised devices with the configuration profile, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint can access the entire URL and if it is found to be phishing, it is blocked.On an Unsupervised device, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has access to only the domain name, and if the domain is not a phishing URL, it won't be blocked.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on iOS enables optional permissions in the onboarding flow. Currently the permissions required by Defender for Endpoint are mandatory in the onboarding flow. With this feature, admins can deploy Defender for Endpoint on BYOD devices without enforcing the mandatory VPN permission during onboarding. End users can onboard the app without the mandatory permissions and can later review these permissions. This feature is currently present only for enrolled devices (MDM).
Optional Permission is different from Disable Web Protection. Optional VPN Permission only helps to skip the permission during onboarding but its available for the end user to later review and enable it. While Disable Web Protection allows users to onboard the Defender for Endpoint app without the Web Protection. It cannot be enabled later.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has the capability of detecting unmanaged and managed devices that are jailbroken. These jailbreak checks are done periodically. If a device is detected as jailbroken, these events occur:
Reducing cyber risk requires comprehensive risk-based vulnerability management to identify, assess, remediate, and track all your biggest vulnerabilities across your most critical assets, all in a single solution. Visit this page to learn more about Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
Defender for Endpoint on iOS supports vulnerability assessments of OS and apps. Vulnerability assessment of iOS versions is available for both enrolled (MDM) and unenrolled (MAM) devices. Vulnerability assessment of apps is only for enrolled (MDM) devices. Admins can use the following steps to configure the vulnerability assessment of apps.
To get the list of all the apps including unmanaged apps, the admin has to enable Send full application inventory data on personally owned iOS/iPadOS devices setting in the Intune Admin Portal for the supervised devices marked as "Personal".For the supervised devices marked as "Corporate" in the Intune Admin Portal, the admin need not enable Send full application inventory data on personally owned iOS/iPadOS devices.
Once the client versions are deployed to target iOS devices, processing starts. Vulnerabilities found on those devices start showing up in the Defender Vulnerability Management dashboard. The processing might take few hours (max 24 hours) to complete. This time frame is especially true for the entire list of apps to show up in the software inventory.
If you're using SSL inspection solution within your iOS device, add the domain names securitycenter.windows.com (in commercial environments) and securitycenter.windows.us (in GCC environments) for threat and vulnerability management features to work.
Defender for Endpoint on iOS supports deployment without sign out button in the app to prevent users from signing out of the Defender app. This is important to prevent users from tampering the device.
Defender for Endpoint on iOS enables bulk tagging the mobile devices during onboarding by allowing the admins to set up tags via Intune. Admin can configure the device tags through Intune via configuration policies and push them to user's devices. Once the User installs and activates Defender, the client app passes the device tags to the Microsoft Defender portal. The Device tags appear against the devices in the Device Inventory.
A configuration is available for customers to suppress OS update notification in Defender for Endpoint on iOS. Once the config key is set in the Intune App configuration policies, Defender for Endpoint will not send any notifications on the device for OS updates. However, when you open the Microsoft Defender app, the Device Health card is visible and show the state of your OS.

I get welcome to checkn1x.
Then I press Alt+F2 and I get no response. The screen just shows a blinking underscore and the same welcome message. I would appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks, John
