    Antivirus Deployment.

    We deploy and centrally manage endpoint protection on your laptops, desktops and servers so threats are blocked, detected and reported in one console. The setup follows CERT-In's baseline controls: licensed protection on every device, built-in operating system protection left on, removable media controlled and patches applied, with options such as Microsoft Defender for Business.

    FAQs

    Questions about Antivirus Deployment.

    Microsoft Defender Antivirus gives baseline protection, and CERT-In advises against disabling built-in security features. Central management, detection and response usually need a business product such as Defender for Business or another endpoint solution.
