Network Protection feature is enabled by default

August 2024 Update

• Network Protection feature is enabled by default in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Android. As a result, users will be able to see a network protection card in the Defender for Endpoint app, along with App Protection and Web Protection. Users are also required to provide location permission to complete the setup process. Admins can change the default value for network protection if they decide not to use it via the Intune App Configuration policies. This feature was already enabled by default earlier on Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on iOS. For more information, see network protection.
