Microsoft Defender Antivirus serves as the advanced protection element within Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, integrating cutting-edge technologies like machine learning, extensive data analysis, thorough research on threat resistance, and the robust Microsoft cloud framework to safeguard devices in your organization. This next-generation protection offers a variety of features, including behavior-based, heuristic, and real-time antivirus capabilities that involve continuous scanning through file and process behavior monitoring, commonly referred to as real-time protection. Additionally, it identifies and prevents access to applications that may be risky but are not classified as malware, while also providing cloud-based protection for swift detection and mitigation of emerging threats. Regular updates aimed at enhancing the functionality and effectiveness of Microsoft Defender Antivirus are also included, ensuring that your defenses remain strong and current against evolving cyber threats. Overall, these comprehensive services work together to create a formidable barrier against a wide range of security risks.

BitLocker Drive Encryption serves as a crucial data security feature, seamlessly integrated into the operating system, designed to combat risks associated with data theft or exposure due to lost, stolen, or improperly retired computers. The most robust protection is achieved when BitLocker is paired with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 1.2 or higher, a hardware element that many modern computers come equipped with. This TPM collaborates with BitLocker to safeguard user data and verify that the computer remains untampered while offline. For machines lacking a TPM version 1.2 or more advanced, BitLocker can still encrypt the Windows operating system drive, but this setup necessitates the user to utilize a USB startup key to power on the computer or wake it from hibernation. Since the introduction of Windows 8, users can also opt for an operating system volume password to secure the operating system volume on computers without a TPM. This additional flexibility enhances usability while maintaining security standards.
