    Hi @Rishineken Pongen ,

    Are you referring to MS Defender for Business as a standalone feature? Correct? If yes, then it doesn't offer protection features for Defender for Office 365 or Identity Protection.

    Just to add to Ioannis Katsaounis' answer, Defender for Office 365 is not included in Defender for Business licensing.

    For more information about Defender for Office 365:

    Office 365 E5, Microsoft 365 E5 Security, and Microsoft 365 E5 include Microsoft Defender for Office P2 licenses, and Microsoft 365 Business Premium includes Microsoft Defender for Office 365 P1 licenses.
