The Defender deployment tool (now in public preview) can be used to deploy Defender endpoint security on Windows and Linux devices. The tool is a lightweight, self-updating application that streamlines the deployment process. For more information, see Deploy Microsoft Defender endpoint security to Windows devices using the Defender deployment tool (preview) and Deploy Microsoft Defender endpoint security to Linux devices using the Defender deployment tool (preview).
