Employee Count and Licensing Usage: - What is your employee count? - Do you use Microsoft E3, E5, or a variation (e.g., E3 + Security E5)? - Do you rely only on Microsoft EOP and/or Defender for O365 for email protection? If not, what other product(s) do you use (e.g., Proofpoint, Abnormal)?

We have about 2200 employees and about 800 contractors, so ~3,000 workers worldwide. We have E1 licenses for contractors that we don't give laptops to and all other workers, which is the vast majority, have E3 licenses. We have bought <10 E5 licenses for some of our O365 administrators since it gives them the ability to leverage some additional security tools. On the security side, we mostly don't love Microsoft's security approach or track record. We use SentinelOne as our EDR/antivirus and we use Proofpoint as our email gateway (and are happy with both).
Good luck!

We have various employees and license type due to the type of our business. We are a US based retail company with thousands of store employees, store managers and headquarters employees. For our HQ population we use E5 License, and we utilize Microsoft Defender for Office 365 protection. After spending time getting it configured correctly it does an adequate job protecting the company. Reach out if I can help with any additional questions.
Defender for clients yes.
