14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has announced that its very own Microsoft Defender for Endpoint security solution is now available on Windows 10 ARM devices.
Windows 10 on ARM is a big bet for Microsoft, as the company is promoting the platform not only as a solution that allows for longer battery life and other important performance improvements, but also a more secure working environment.
And thanks to the addition of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Windows 10 ARM becomes a platform that’s ready for enterprise deployment.
“Microsoft’s investment in Windows 10 on Arm offers powerful, highly-mobile experiences, with security at the core. These devices are designed to take full advantage of the built-in protections available in Windows 10 such as encryption, data protection, and next gen antivirus and AntiMalware capabilities. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint compliments these security features with an industry leading, unified, cloud powered enterprise endpoint security platform that helps security teams prevent, detect, investigate and respond to advanced threats, while delivering secure and productive end user security experiences,” the company explains in an announcement.
Free trial also offered
On the other hand, Windows 10 ARM is yet to get the traction that Microsoft hoped it would get at first.
Despite all the investments that the company has put into this project, partners are yet to embrace Windows 10 ARM en-masse, but Microsoft hopes that investments in enterprise solutions would help boost the adoption among businesses.
“Security teams will find that there are no changes to the experience with regards to Arm based PCs. All the data, insights, and functionality in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is exactly the same as its always been including things like device inventory, alerts, response actions, advanced hunting, and more, including the onboarding experience,” the company says.
A free trial of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is also available for businesses who want to take this solution for a spin before mass deployment in their organizations.
