Configure Microsoft Defender for Endpoint web protection on Android devices managed by Intune

  • מאמר

When you integrate Microsoft Defender for Endpoint with Microsoft Intune, you can use device configuration profiles to modify some Defender for Endpoint settings on Android devices.

By default, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Android includes and enables the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Web protection feature that can help to secure devices against web threats and protect users from phishing attacks.

While enabled by default, there are valid reasons to disable it on some Android devices. For example, you might decide to use only the Defender for Endpoint app scan feature or to prevent web protection from using your VPN while it scans for harmful URLs.

With Intune device configuration policy, you can turn off all or part of the web protection feature. The method you use and the capabilities you can disable depend on how the Android device is enrolled with Intune:

  • Android device administrator. Use a configuration profile to set custom OMA-URI settings on the device that disable the entire web protection feature or that disable only the use of VPNs. For general information about custom settings for Android devices, see Use custom settings for Android devices in Microsoft Intune.

  • Android Enterprise personally owned work profile. Use an app configuration profile and the configuration designer to disable web protection. This method and enrollment type support disabling all web protection capabilities but don't support disabling only the use of VPNs. For general information about app configuration policies, see Use the configuration designer.

  • Android Enterprise Fully Managed profile. Use an app configuration profile and the configuration designer to disable the entire web protection feature or to disable only the use of VPNs.

To configure web protection on devices, use the following procedures to create and deploy the applicable configuration.

Disable web protection for Android device administrator

Important

Microsoft Intune is ending support for Android device administrator management on devices with access to Google Mobile Services (GMS) on December 31, 2024. After that date, device enrollment, technical support, bug fixes, and security fixes will be unavailable. If you currently use device administrator management, we recommend switching to another Android management option in Intune before support ends. For more information, see Ending support for Android device administrator on GMS devices.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center.

  2. Select Devices > Manage devices > Configuration > On the Policies tab, select + Create.

  3. Enter these settings:

    • Platform: Select Android device administrator.
    • Profile: Select Custom.

    Select Create.

  4. In Basics, enter these details:

    • Name: Enter a descriptive name for the profile. Name your profiles so you can easily identify them later. For example, Android custom profile for Defender for Endpoint web protection.

  5. In Configuration settings, select Add.

    Specify settings for the configuration you want to deploy:

    Select Add to save the OMA-URI settings configuration, and then select Next to continue.
