Instead of being coy, I’ll tell you flat out: yes. As IT pros roll out Windows 10, they are reevaluating their need for third-party antimalware. In response, Microsoft has continued to improve Windows Defender. In the past dozen years, businesses’ need for comprehensive cybersecurity has skyrocketed. Microsoft told corporate customers not to abandon third-party antimalware solutions in favor of Windows Defender (Note: I’m using antimalware even though the official name is “Windows Defender Antivirus” because viruses are a subset of malware). When Windows Defender was first released in 2006, Microsoft described it as “not great, but better than nothing.” I’m paraphrasing but that was the essence of their message at launch.
