-- [Device contain](/defender-endpoint/respond-machine-alerts#contain-devices-from-the-network) - based on Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's capability, this action is an automatic containment of a suspicious device to block any incoming/outgoing communication with the said device. In addition, Defender for Endpoint automatically contains malicious IP addresses associated with undiscovered/not onboarded devices to block any lateral movement and encryption activity to other Defender for Endpoint-onboarded/discovered devices. It does this through its **[Contain IP](/defender-endpoint/respond-machine-alerts#contain-ip-addresses-of-undiscovered-devices)** policy. Moreover, compromised critical assets' IP addresses are also automatically contained with specific blocking mechanisms to stop the spread of an attack while avoiding productivity loss.
