Microsoft lanceert Defender voor Microsoft 365 Personal en Family

Microsoft launches Defender for Microsoft 365 Personal and Family

June 21, 2022

Microsoft adds Microsoft Defender for Individuals to Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscriptions.

Microsoft today, June 16, is making a new member of its growing family of “Defender” branded products generally available. The newest member, called “Microsoft Defender for Individuals,” is designed to help secure families of devices, not just Windows PCs.

Microsoft has been testing Defender for Individuals for several months under the Microsoft Defender brand name. Defender for Individuals, codenamed “Gibraltar,” is intended to provide consumers with a centralized dashboard for managing and monitoring their online security status on PCs, Macs and iOS and Android mobile devices.

If users have other third-party antivirus products, they can see the status of these protected devices through the dashboard. Microsoft says users get instant security alerts, suggested fixes and security tips designed to help them better secure their devices.

Microsoft is offering Defender for Individuals at no additional cost to Microsoft 365 Family and Personal subscribers. Existing subscribers can download the app and sign in with their personal Microsoft accounts. Those who are not Family or Personal subscribers cannot purchase this Defender for Individuals, officials said, but there is a 30-day free trial for the product.

With our feet in the mud

Here we are. Not quite recognizable anymore, thanks to AI trying to protect children. Understandable, of course. But believe us: these really are Berry and Frank. More than ten years apart, but in reality, we've always been brothers from another mother. And what do we have in common? A lot... and at the same time, almost nothing. Berry is often the good cop. Calm, down-to-earth, and always working to get things done. I'm usually the bad cop. Direct, critical, and always looking for ways to improve. But that combination is precisely what works. What completely unites us, though, is our love for...
