With the ever-increasing threat of cyber-attacks and online scams, we saw Microsoft trial a new Microsoft Defender app for Windows, iOS, Android, and macOS late last year. Now, the Redmond giant has finally made the app generally available for Microsoft 365 users. Check out the details right here!
When Microsoft released the early preview of the Defender app last year, the company described it as a “personal defense against digital threats” on users’ devices, be it a Windows PC, a Mac, or an iPhone or Android smartphone. This is because the app does work on multiple platforms and helps strengthen the existing malware and phishing security systems that a user already has.
Now, it is worth mentioning that some of the features are currently platform-specific. For instance, malware protection is currently available on Windows and iOS, while “Advice” is currently only available on macOS and Windows machines.
