Formerly known as Windows Defender
Microsoft Defender offers protection for devices and personal data against online threats. At CWSI, we provide tailored Microsoft Defender solutions to safeguard your digital assets and enhance security across all devices.
Microsoft Defender covers a wide range of security protections. It defends against malware, viruses, ransomware, and spyware with real-time scanning. It includes firewall management to monitor and block unauthorised network access and web protection to guard against malicious websites and phishing. For businesses, Microsoft Defender offers advanced features like endpoint detection and response (EDR), device vulnerability management, and cloud security through integration with Microsoft 365 and Azure. Additionally, it can deliver threat intelligence and automated remediation to defend against sophisticated cyberattacks.
Microsoft Defender, formerly Windows Defender, has evolved to address the growing security risks businesses face as technology and cloud adoption expand. As security challenges increase, Microsoft has enhanced its portfolio to protect endpoints, cloud, and networks across multiple operating systems.
This market-leading solution integrates seamlessly with the Microsoft ecosystem, offering comprehensive protection for modern business environments and is often already incorporated within your existing Microsoft licenses.
