[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 956630, member: 32260"] If the comparison includes small business products, then the table can be corrected for Microsoft Defender. The administrators in small businesses can activate many ATP features by using: [LIST] [*]Microsoft Endpoint Manager (which now includes Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager) [*]Group Policy [*][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]PowerShell cmdlets[/B][/COLOR] [/LIST] These methods are [B]suggested to administrators by Microsoft,[/B] so one should not ignore them, even if they are not included in Windows Security Center. PowerShell is an official configuration management framework created by Microsoft for administrators and it is commonly used in small businesses. It is available in all Windows editions (also in Windows Home). There exists detailed Microsoft documentation about configuring Defender via PowerShell. The Windows Security Center is dedicated to non-administrator users (like home users) and some advanced Defender features are intentionally hidden there. Usually, some ASR rules and Network Protection are activated in small businesses. Several ATP features work also (unofficially) on Windows 10 Home (can be activated via PowerShell). They work unofficially because only Windows Pro, Enterprise, and Education can have commercial licensing. In addition to ASR rules and Network Protection, also Microsoft Defender Application Control (MSDAC) policies work on Windows Home, but the policy file must be created on a machine with installed Windows 10 Pro (can be done in small businesses). Compared to ASR rules and Network Protection, the MSDAC policies are probably not so convenient and popular in small businesses. If the comparison would include only the Home AVs, then skipping these ATP features would be acceptable (no administrator to use them). Furthermore, other AV testing labs also skip these features for AV Home versions. [/QUOTE]
