However, that\u2019s just one component of Microsoft\u2019s suite of Defender tools. Microsoft has also been selling <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/deeplink?id=2QzUaswX1as&amp;mid=24542&amp;u1=htg\/812124&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Fsecurity%2Fbusiness%2Fmicrosoft-defender%3Frtc%3D1\">cloud-based Defender features<\/a> to businesses for a while, such as email phishing protection, and now Microsoft is starting to bring some of that functionality to individuals too.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft announced today that \u2018Microsoft Defender for individuals\u2019 is now available for Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers, across Windows, iOS, Android, and macOS. The Mac and mobile versions have the ability to scan <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>s and network traffic (using <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/security\/threat-protection\/microsoft-defender-smartscreen\/microsoft-defender-smartscreen-overview\">Defender SmartScreen<\/a>) for potential dangers, while the Windows application seems to just be a dashboard, since those features are already present in the built-in Defender service.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-812138 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/download-5.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"690\" height=\"498\" data-crediturl=\"Microsoft\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The app probably won\u2019t be too helpful for most people, at least in its current form, given that each supported platform already has its own built-in suite of security tools. Google Play Protect on Android already scans installed apps for dangerous code, while Apple has\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/guide\/security\/protecting-against-malware-sec469d47bd8\/web\">Gatekeeper and XProtect<\/a> on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Still, it\u2019s free to Microsoft 365 subscribers, and Microsoft hopes the dashboard view might be helpful for families to check multiple devices for potential security problems at once.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft is also planning to continue updating the Defender apps with new features. The company said in a blog post, \u201cAs we look forward, we will continue to bring more protections together under a single dashboard, including features like identity theft protection and secure online connection. Microsoft Defender is simplified online security that grows with you and your family to help keep you safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft Defender is available to download now, but it requires a valid Microsoft 365 Family or Personal subscription.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/deeplink?id=2QzUaswX1as&amp;mid=24542&amp;u1=htg\/812124&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fsecurity%2Fblog%2F2022%2F06%2F16%2Fmaking-the-world-a-safer-place-with-microsoft-defender-for-individuals%2F\">Microsoft<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
