Microsoft Defender Management Integration
The real-time protection Microsoft Defender Antivirus, pre-installed in Windows 10, makes an important contribution to the detection and elimination of malware and unwanted programs. But virus scanning is only one component in a complete security solution.
DriveLock integrates the management of Microsoft Defender Antivirus with its Zero Trust platform and enables common, convenient centralised management of DriveLock prevention tools Application control, Device control and Endpoint detection & response with Microsoft Defender.
No additional Microsoft management solutions such as Intune or SCCM are required for configuration. Enormous advantage: There is no need to distribute, no individual group policies.
This allows DriveLock customers to manage everything from a centralised platform in DriveLock and further reduce the risk of losing data to malware, spyware or ransomware.
