Microsoft 365 endpoints
This article applies to both Microsoft 365 Enterprise and Office 365 Enterprise.
Endpoints are the set of destination IP addresses, DNS domain names, and URLs for Microsoft 365 traffic on the Internet.
To optimize performance to Microsoft 365 cloud-based services, these endpoints need special handling by your client browsers and the devices in your edge network. These devices include firewalls, TLS Break and Inspect and packet inspection devices, and data loss prevention systems.
See Managing Microsoft 365 endpoints for the details.
