To get the service up and running, IT pros will have to install the Microsoft Monitoring Agent, which delivers sensor data back to Microsoft, according to Microsoft's onboarding document. 10, 2023.Īnother consideration for organizations is that using the Windows Defender ATP service requires having Microsoft 365 E5 licensing in place. Windows 8.1 will reach its end-of-life milestone on Jan. 14, 2020, making it potentially insecure to use those clients after that date. Windows 7 Service Pack 1 will fall out of "extended support" on Jan. In the case of Windows 7, organizations have little time left to use the new capability, unless they are paying for a "custom support" contract or using Microsoft's Extended Security Updates program. It's also built to support macOS, Linux and Windows Server OSes.
Windows Defender ATP originally was built for Windows 10 clients, but Microsoft extended it for its so-called "down-level" Windows OSes. The capability was at preview stage last year.
It means that organizations can now use the service in their production environments to track Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 security issues. The capability for Windows Defender ATP to act as an "endpoint detection and response" service for those older Windows operating systems reached "general availability" status, Microsoft announced on Friday. The Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) service can now be used to help address security issues with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 clients.
