Microsoft is working to make the Internet safer for you and your family. Today the company is launching a new Defender security panel for 365 subscribers. iPhone, Mac, Windows, and Android device users have access to the Microsoft Defender security app, which uses existing antivirus software or other protections.
Microsoft Defender is simplified online security that helps you and your family wherever you are by bringing multiple protections together in one pane. It provides online protection for all the devices you and your family use. It offers tips and tricks to further strengthen your defenses. And as you expand your digital footprint by adding family members and devices, Defender grows with you and keeps your protection up to date with trusted technology.
According to The Verge, Microsoft Defender features are platform dependent. For example, on iPhone and iPad, Microsoft Defender users will not have antivirus protection. However, they will have some anti-phishing protection along with their control panel which contains alerts for their other devices.
In addition, the new app includes security alerts for your devices to ensure maximum protection. If you’re not using an iPhone, you can also view Microsoft Defender Cybersecurity Tips on a Mac or Windows computer.
This is just the beginning. In the future, we will continue to consolidate more protections into a single pane, including features such as identity theft protection and secure online connection. Microsoft Defender is simplified online security that grows with you and your family to keep you safe.
Vasu Jakkal, Microsoft Corporate Vice President of Security, Compliance, Identity and Governance
