Microsoft Defender family - Licenses combined with Intune

Question

Hi all,

I'm currently looking at the Microsoft Defender family to replace a Sentinel1 as an AV at my endpoints.
From what i can gather from the MS website is that there is a range of Defender solutions:
Defender For endpoint, Defender Vulnerability mgmt, Defender for O365 for Identity, Defender for Cloud apps.

Now my users have a M365 buss premium and some have the EMS E5 suite license.
What license models would be best to have the Defender family licensed for my users?

Also is Defender ATP renamed or something?

Thanks,

Tom

@Tom Meeus , Based on my research, the following licenses give you access to Microsoft 365 Defender feature via the Microsoft 365 Defender portal. In these licenses, I notice EMS E5 is included.

For Microsoft Defender ATP, I am not familiar. You can ask in the following forum to get more help.

Thanks for your understanding and have a nice day!
