What exactly does it do?

They describe how to install it etc. - but I have no idea about why I would want it on a Linux server or how it compares with existing security software.

@graeme_p Microsoft says it has "strong preventive capabilities, a full command line experience on the client to configure and manage the agent, initiate scans, manage threats, and a familiar integrated experience for machines and alert monitoring in the Microsoft Defender Security Center."
