You can also download the new Microsoft Defender today from the Microsoft Store on Windows 11, but only Microsoft employees can log in for now.
Microsoft is working on a thorough redesign of Defender, the antivirus component in Windows. On Twitter, the first official photo has now been shared showing Microsoft Defender on Windows 11 and Android.
Defender’s goal is to keep users’ devices safe. It offers protection against digital dangers including rogue apps and phishing. The new app is said to include a strong focus on security tips to educate and keep users on their toes in between.
For now, not a whole lot is known around the new Defender version, but with the official announcement, chances are the app will be here soon. Smart users who search the Microsoft Store on Windows 11 for Microsoft Defender Preview can even download it already. Only requirement is that you must be a Microsoft employee to use the app.
Microsoft made Defender a priority in 2021 in tandem with Windows 11 with, among other things, the launch of Microsoft Defender for Business that focuses on SMEs. The solution provides enterprise-level endpoint protection for organizations with up to 300 employees. Microsoft’s security tool will autonomously take care of simple problems, so as an administrator you only have to take manual action for more advanced threats.
