Microsoft Security – leading the market in Antivirus Endpoint Protection
Global events of the last 12 months have spurred major changes in the business environment, including rapid digital transformation for many businesses. The pandemic has changed the way people and businesses work. Whilst the dynamic new business landscape offers excellent opportunities, it is also fraught with risk. Working from home, using less standardised devices, poorly protected networks and limited physical security has led to an increase in cyber threats previously unseen. And your staff need to be protected from this.
As the largest IT Vendor, Microsoft has invested significantly in security software. According to a recent Gartner report, Microsoft is the leader in Unified Endpoint Management.
Whilst previous versions appeared less effective, Microsoft Defender Antivirus has evolved into a complete antivirus package. It has the ability to use machine learning, data analysis, in-depth threat resistance, and the Microsoft cloud infrastructure to deliver improved protection against malware. Defender also blocks exploits and network-based attacks and protects against phishing sites. Whether you are looking for security for a remote machine, a virtual machine, or multiple PCs in a large organisation, Microsoft Defender Antivirus can provide advanced enterprise endpoint protection for little to no cost to your business.
