Microsoft Defender is an anti-malware software developed by Microsoft that offers comprehensive threat prevention, detection, and response capabilities for everyone. It helps individuals and families protect their devices and online identities with malware protection, real-time monitoring, and more. Microsoft Defender Antivirus is available for free on computers running Windows and offers basic virus protection software, although a third-party antivirus or anti-malware software may be more comprehensive. It was first released as a free anti-spyware program for Windows XP and has since evolved into a full antivirus program, replacing Microsoft Security Essentials in Windows 8 and later versions. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is another cloud-powered endpoint security resource that helps stop attacks and evolves defenses. Windows Security, which includes Microsoft Defender Antivirus, protects your Windows device and data against viruses, ransomware, trojans, and other malware unless a non-Microsoft Antivirus is active.
Threat intelligence refers to the process of identifying, analyzing, and understanding cyber threats to prevent or mitigate cyberattacks. It involves collecting data on potential attackers, their motives, targets, and attack behaviors, which is then analyzed and organized to inform security teams how to combat specific threats. There are three levels of threat intelligence data: strategic, operational, and tactical. Threat intelligence can be technical or non-technical, and it is consumed by SOC staff and IR teams. Mandiant Threat Intelligence is a cyber threat intelligence platform that gives security practitioners unparalleled visibility and expertise into threats that matter to their business right now. The role of cyber threat intelligence is to provide information on adversaries, identify, prepare, and prevent attacks, and minimize cybersecurity risks. Threat intelligence, also known as cyber threat intelligence, is the information gathered from a range of sources about current or potential attacks against an organization.
