Antivirus management; Centrally monitors devices' protection status, updates and alarms. Having the software installed does not alone indicate that effective protection is working.
What to check after installation?
The appearance of the device in the management system, its protection status and update health are examined. Devices that remain offline or have not sent information for a long time should also be kept visible in the inventory.
Can more than one security product be used together?
Active, passive, and interoperability for Microsoft Defender Antivirus vary by operating system and configuration. It should not be assumed that running two real-time engines simultaneously is appropriate in all environments.
Verify endpoint protection
- Compare the managed device list with the actual device inventory.
- Check active protection, update and last connection status.
- Write down who the alarm will go to and how the quarantine decision will be handled.
