Use Windows Defender Exploit Guard to protect your corporate network

1. Exploit Protection can apply exploit mitigation techniques to apps your organization uses, both individually and to all apps

2. Attack Surface Reduction rules can reduce the attack surface of your applications with intelligent rules that stop the vectors used by Office-, script- and mail-based malware.
Rules can be found here: Use Attack Surface Reduction rules to prevent malware infection

3. Network Protection extends the malware and social engineering protection offered by Windows Defender SmartScreen in Edge to cover network traffic and connectivity on your organization's devices
More details here: Use Network Protection to prevent connections to suspicious domains
It expands the scope of Windows Defender SmartScreen to block all outboud HTTP(s) traffic that attempts to connect to low-reputation sources (based on the domain or hostname).

4. Controlled Folder Access helps protect files in key system folders from changes made by malicious and suspicious apps, including file-encrypting ransomware malware
More details here: Prevent ransomware and other threats from encrypting and changing important files
All apps (any executable file, including .exe, .scr, .dll files and others) are assessed by Windows Defender Antivirus, which then determines if the app is malicious or safe. If the app is determined to be malicious or suspicious, then it will not be allowed to make changes to any files in any protected folder.
