To prevent man-in-the-middle attacks, all Microsoft Azure hosted traffic uses certificate pinning. As a result, SSL inspections by major firewall systems aren't allowed. You must bypass SSL inspection for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint URLs. For additional information about the certificate pinning process, see [enterprise-certificate-pinning](/windows/security/identity-protection/enterprise-certificate-pinning).
