In public preview, customer tenants in US Government Community (GCC) High, and Department of Defense (DoD) environments can now use Intune to manage the Defender security settings on the devices you’ve onboarded to Defender without enrolling those devices with Intune. This capability is known as Defender for Endpoint security settings management.
