Microsoft Brings Microsoft Defender ATP to Linux, iOS and Android
Microsoft is offering security though the Microsoft Defender ATP to Linux and plans to also support iOS and Android as well.
Microsoft Defender ATP offers preventive protection, post-breach detection and automated investigation and response for Windows and macOS. And today Microsoft announced support for Linux and plans for iOS and Android as well.
On Android and iOS, Defender will help prevent people from visiting online destinations that Microsoft deems unsafe. It may also prevent phishing attacks.
Next week at the RSA Conference, the company promised to provide a preview of its investments in mobile threat defense with the work it is doing to bring security solutions to Android and iOS.
Last year, Microsoft released extensions for Chrome and Firefox.
Microsoft also announced that, as of today, its Microsoft Threat Protection is available to customers with Microsoft 365. The service combines Defender, Office 365 ATP, Azure ATP and Microsoft Cloud App Security to search for threats across users, emails, applications and endpoints. It then uses AI to automatically block attacks.
