Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.
Yes, it is possible to deploy endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) protection by enabling Microsoft Defender in passive mode while using CrowdStrike as the primary antivirus. This setup allows you to leverage the strengths of both solutions without conflicts.
For detailed guidance on implementing endpoint DLP protection with CrowdStrike as the primary antivirus, you can refer to the following resources:
- CrowdStrike’s Data Loss Prevention Overview: This article provides an in-depth look at how CrowdStrike’s DLP solutions work and how they can be integrated with other security tools
- Falcon Data Protection: This page details CrowdStrike’s unified platform for data protection and endpoint security, which can help you understand how to configure and manage DLP alongside other security measures
Additionally, you can also refer to the Microsoft documentation on Microsoft Defender Antivirus compatibility, which provides information on how to configure Microsoft Defender Antivirus to run in passive mode while using a non-Microsoft antivirus solution
Here are some key points to consider when deploying endpoint DLP protection with CrowdStrike as the primary AV:
- Passive mode: Microsoft Defender Antivirus can be configured to run in passive mode, allowing CrowdStrike to function as the primary antivirus solution.
- Coexistence: Microsoft Defender Antivirus and CrowdStrike can coexist on the same endpoint, with Microsoft Defender Antivirus providing additional security features and capabilities.
- DLP protection: Endpoint DLP protection can be deployed using Microsoft Defender Antivirus in passive mode, providing an additional layer of protection against data loss and exfiltration.
