Of course, together with colleagues from work, we have often laughed that all global companies that use Defender in production are beta testers (global testing environment) for Microsoft products. Because who, if not Microsoft alone, can defend his system best. I myself had the opportunity to work in one of these companies and this solution had very good results. There aren’t too many configuration options here either, but all the available switches are well described.ĭefender is not only used at home, but many large companies use Defender in conjunction with Sentinel (SIEM) and ASC as their primary protection.

But if you have Windows and a built-in antivirus program, which isn’t the worst, better have it turned on and brag about never having to intervene than one day cry about your data being encrypted.

If you want to drive a car, you need to get a driving license.

Unfortunately, no one checks anyone’s skills before buying the first computer or smartphone. Then even the most expensive solution will not help. Sometimes it is easier to break a person than their computer security. There is no perfect solution, and no mater if you install free or paid antivirus, you can always be infected, if you do not use your own brain. which can slow down your PC), or you just have other better things to buy, you can definitely use antivirus software built into your Windows operating system. If you are a standard user, surfing the web, you don’t want to install additional software (eg. You don’t need to buy expensive antivirus software. In this post I would like to share my observations and ways to improve the effectiveness of Defender.
