Microsoft has launched Defender for mobiles and computers

Microsoft has launched a new Defender app for Android, iOS, Windows and MacOS, with the aim of improving user security online. The functionality varies depending on the platform.

According to Microsoft, the Android app offers “a centralized view for managing and monitoring antivirus protection between your various devices”. Defender for Android has malware protection and can scan for viruses and malicious apps.

Users have the ability to control what is to be scanned by manually stating that apps and files are secure and should be excluded. Defender can also provide recommendations on how security can be improved for users’ data and devices.

It is worth noting that Android already offers this type of protection built into the system, but Microsoft’s solution covers several different platforms. Defender requires a Microsoft 365 subscription.

Seamlessly protect your data and devices with Microsoft Defender. You and your family can easily manage your online security in one app with notifications and recommendations to help you stay safer online.
