Microsoft rolls out new cross-platform security service for Microsoft 365 customers.
Microsoft has announced an expansion of its software subscription package that should help users better protect their various devices against cyberthreats. As described in a new blog post (opens in new tab), Microsoft 365 (opens in new tab) customers will now benefit from a service called Microsoft Defender for Individuals, billed as “a new security app designed to keep individuals and families safer online”. The application gives users a way to both protect and monitor all their devices – across macOS, iOS and Android, as well as Windows – from a single, unified dashboard. It also offers up tips and suggestions to help users further strengthen their protections. The objective of the new service, says Microsoft, is to eliminate complexities that arise as a result of using multiple different security products across multiple devices and operating systems.
