It is a fact that maintaining security on our devices is essential to avoid problems and make everything work well. For this to be possible, it is essential to have a good antivirus, as is the case with Windows Defender. In this article, we echo a deep renovation so that administrators can have everything under control easily and minimize the possible security problems that may appear.
Windows Defender enables better security management
The goal of this major Windows Defender revamp is to enable users to better manage security not only on the main computer but also on other connected devices. These computers can have operating systems such as Android, iOS or macOS.
Administrators will have the ability to monitor antivirus, avoid Phishing attacks, receive security alerts or analyze possible compromised passwords from a single security panel where everything is centralized for greater ease.
This is very interesting to be able to better control the security of other devices. A traditional antivirus has the ability to detect viruses, malware or any threat that tries to find out on that system. For example in Windows, this antivirus would alert us if we have entered a malicious page and have downloaded a file that may be problematic. Now, what if we have an infected mobile phone connected to the network?
Precisely the renewal of Windows Defender will facilitate this that we mentioned. It will allow us to have everything in a single panel from which to detect malware beyond the computer itself.
Keep in mind that we have more and more computers connected to the home network. This has also made security solutions offer tools to better manage connected devices and provide users with more possibilities. However, it is not always simple and the way to manage it is accessible to everyone. It is also important to avoid false positives with Windows Defender.
Home Security Suite
Now what Microsoft wants is to offer users a suite to manage home security. All this in a single panel from which to control the security of devices with Windows 11, Windows 10, iOS, Android or macOS.
This is what will allow managing the security also of other devices that are connected to the home network. One more way to maximize security and prevent the entry of threats and problems. At the moment it is something in tests, although they have already shown that it will have antivirus, detection of compromised passwords, security against Phishing attacks or security.
Any home network administrator will be able to add devices to that security panel. These computers will have to be connected to the network and, as we have indicated, they will not necessarily have to have the Windows operating system.
Disconnect for the moment when this new function will be available, although it is expected that it will arrive in the next few months. It will undoubtedly be an interesting tool with which we can have greater control of the equipment connected to the network and thus avoid security problems.
