Resource: Learn all about Windows Defender and Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection

The next major feature update to Windows 10, the Creators Update, will be released soon and it builds upon the solid security foundation that is already available in Windows 10 using Windows Defender.

Microsoft also offers a cloud based service to enterprise customers that compliments Windows Defender with features to detect, investigate, and respond to threats across the companies network.

Windows Defender and Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection are proven tools that Microsoft uses on their own networks to protect the thousands of machines and devices they support.  As I have stated in the past, there is no better way to learn how a set of technologies work but to see how they are implemented by the company that builds them.

At Microsoft they call this eating your own dog food but I call it a great resource to learn how the tech works first hand.

The Microsoft IT Showcase will provide a one hour webinar on these two products later this month and show you how Microsoft has put them to use across their company.

The webinar, Securing the modern enterprise with Windows Defender and Windows Defender ATP, will be held on 22 March 2017 from 10 to 11 AM Pacific Time.

The presentation will be provided by senior Microsoft security engineers and security architects Brian Hopper and Daryl Pecelj to show you exactly how they make this work.

You can register and add a reminder to your calendar for this free event from the webinar webpage.

Read more about Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection ahead of time from the Windows IT Center.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
