[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 956906, member: 32260"] Does AVLab make tests only for users in Poland? Do you have any reliable statistics about using Defender and using ASR rules in small businesses in Poland? I think that your definition of a small business is rather close to a home business. If so, then a current description of Defender in the comparison table is probably OK. The ASR rules and several advanced Defender settings do not require Active Directory and work well on Windows 10 Pro (and Home). Using PowerShell for configuring Defender is an official way, recommended by Microsoft for administrators. Microsoft Intune, MDM, and Microsoft ECM are recommended for Enterprises. Also, some medium businesses can afford to use them. But, for small businesses, those solutions are too expensive. [URL unfurl="false"]https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/enable-attack-surface-reduction?view=o365-worldwide[/URL] I share the viewpoint that using Defender free on default settings in small businesses does not make much sense. People use in daily work MS Office, Adobe Acrobat Reader, etc. For such an environment, the ASR rules are recommended by Microsoft. My suggestion is to add the note about the possibility of configuring Defender's advanced settings by PowerShell and also : [LIST] [*]Add a short explanation about why they are not enabled in AVLab tests. [/LIST] or [LIST] [*]Perform 2 different tests for Defender (with and without advanced settings). [/LIST] I think that AV tests for businesses should be done after contacting AV vendors. That is a way followed by most AV testing labs. The vendor usually suggests what settings should be applied. Furthermore, small business users can see if they use the optimal AV setup. The recommendations for Defender (ASR rules): [ATTACH]260429[/ATTACH] [URL unfurl="true"]https://blog.palantir.com/microsoft-defender-attack-surface-reduction-recommendations-a5c7d41c3cf8[/URL] [/QUOTE]
