Keeping our devices free of viruses and threats is essential. When we talk about computers, there Windows Defender it plays a very important role, since it is present in most domestic use systems. Now, what about mobiles? The novelty is that Microsoft’s antivirus will now also protect mobile devices with both Android and iOS.
Microsoft Defender has mobile coverage
From now on, the Microsoft Defender Antivirus It will also have coverage to detect threats on mobile devices with iOS and Android. At the moment, yes, for the Endpoint version, oriented to business security. This will allow to cover more and reach servers, workstations and mobile devices.
As indicated by the platform, it will allow a continuous monitoring of threats and vulnerabilities, in order to control the devices that may be affected and assess the risk. In this way, by being able to manage vulnerabilities in iOS and Android, the area of attack can be reduced and security increased.
Keep in mind that Microsoft Defender was already rolled out for macOS systems a year ago. That was the first step and we already sensed that it would not take long to reach two operating systems as widely used as they are iOS and Android. That day has come and it allows you to extend security coverage to more devices. In addition, previously it was already available for Linux.

With this, administrators will be able to detect threats and software vulnerabilities to remedy them as soon as possible and thus avoid serious security problems that put computers at risk. They now have a new tool with Microsoft Defender to build that much-needed security barrier to prevent cyber attacks on the network.
Windows Defender, an antivirus that wins whole
The truth is that Windows Defender has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. It has really become an option to keep in mind if we want the maximum protection for our systems. It works well, it has a strong support behind it with what that means in regular updates and it is also free for the version of domestic users.
It offers a very correct protection for computers that have Windows 10 or Windows 11. Over time, in addition, it has been expanding the field of action and has allowed the addition of other systems, as we have seen, being the latest iOS and Android to cover more and reach other devices.
However, sometimes problems do appear. We saw, for example, the error when Windows Defender does not start with the system. It is a problem that can leave us unprotected but that we can easily solve. It is essential to always have the antivirus active to prevent the entry of malware that can compromise the systems.
