Microsoft Defender for Identity: Classic portal automatic redirection

Originally posted by Microsoft Jun 5, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

Beginning on June 30, 2023, access to Microsoft Defender for Identity legacy portal at portal.atp.azure.com will be unavailable. Any request will be automatically redirected to Microsoft 365 Defender portal at security.microsoft.com. All new and existing tenants will be automatically redirected to the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, and the option to opt-out will no longer be available.

When this will happen:

June 30, 2023

How this will affect your organization:

Once the forced redirection takes place, any requests to the standalone Defender for Identity portal (portal.atp.azure.com) will be redirected to Microsoft 365 Defender (securtiy.microsoft.com) along with any direct links to its functionality. 

Organizations cannot manually opt-out and disable the setting.

What you need to do to prepare:

Ensure your security teams are familiar with Defender for Identity’s features and settings as they are represented in Microsoft 365 Defender. If your security teams need help, please direct them to the updated documentation available here.
