Web threat protection is part of [Web protection](web-protection-overview.md) in Defender for Endpoint. It uses [network protection](network-protection.md) to secure your devices against web threats. By integrating with Microsoft Edge and popular third-party browsers like Chrome and Firefox, web threat protection stops web threats without a web proxy and can protect devices while they're away or on premises. Web threat protection stops access to phishing sites, malware vectors, exploit sites, untrusted or low-reputation sites, and sites that you are blocked because they're in your [custom indicator list](indicators-overview.md).
