To update Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac, a program named Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU) is used. By default, MAU automatically checks for updates daily, but you can change that to weekly, monthly, or manually.

If you decide to deploy updates by using your software distribution tools, you should configure MAU to manually check for software updates. You can deploy preferences to configure how and when MAU checks for updates for the Macs in your organization.

This section describes the most common preferences that can be used to configure MAU. These settings can be deployed as a configuration profile through the management console that your enterprise is using. An example of a configuration profile is shown in the following sections.

Set the channel name

The channel determines the type and frequency of updates that are offered through MAU. Devices in InsiderFast (corresponding to the Insider Fast channel) can try out new features before devices in External (corresponding to the Insider Slow channel) and Production.

The Production channel contains the most stable version of the product.
