Microsoft prepares Defender to offer protection to iOS devices
Table of contents:
Microsoft Defender is the Redmond company's solution for protecting Windows-based computers. A fairly effective antivirus system that allows you to avoid having to depend on third-party alternatives and that can be improved and completed with a new security center
A new system to control the security of different devices associated to the Microsoft account, something that is logical now that many users access to the services offered by the company through all kinds of connected devices such as phones or tablets.
All devices controlled
In this sense, and according to what Bleeping Computer points out, Microsoft may be working on a system to be able to bring Microsoft Defender protection to other terminalsto which users connect using a Microsoft account.
It would be something like a home security suite compatible with different platforms and operating systems such as Windows 11, Windows 10, iOS, Android and macOS .
For now it is a development that has the code name Gibr altar and that is already being tested internally by part of Microsoft employees. This new system seeks to offer an antivirus but also protection against phishing, security detection in passwords, protection against identity theft, security recommendations..."
An administrator will be in charge of controlling and managing the different members that are added by means of email invitations or codes QR. In order to access this protection, it will almost certainly be that those interested will have to install a client on iOS, Android, Windows or macOS devices and thus access the family security panel.
With the personal control panel, showcased by Twitter user Ahmed Walid, home network administrators can monitor all registered devices for alerts. In fact, the first images show how this system will allow you to see security alerts of the devices as well as monitor aspects such as connections.
For now It's not clear when this feature might come to the public, but hopefully it will come to Windows 10 and Windows 11 first and first do it to the Insider Program.
