I’ve created a bunch of Defender for O365 drawings which you can download from my new GitHub site.

The idea was to help anyone new to the product how policies work and hopefully make them a little easier to navigate.

Selecting Defender for Server plans is an unnecessarily challenging task for whatever reason Microsoft decided. So as part of the book I'm writing on "Demystifying Microsoft Defender for Servers", I'm hoping to make things a little easier for anyone starting out there journey.

Not sure if problem between chair and keyboard or something broken at the MS end.
