[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1101755, member: 114717"] Enabling file hashing has to be pair with Defender Threat Intelligence - which is available to Volume License (Enterprise) subscribers to the commercial\government product line. The hash is used to create an "Indicator" that can be used to create alerts (rule-based upon the various "Indicators" that can be configured). Windows is a generic operating system that is available as a single image. That means it can be configured to activate the various features during installation based upon a number of factors, such as the license key entered. The key thing to understand is that fundamentally, the different Windows editions are the same as far as the core code. What this means is that just because it ships with the operating system image does not mean that it makes sense to activate a security feature. Quite of the few of the enterprise\government security features do not perform the function intended with the associated web management portal. File hash computation achieves nothing without simultaneous use of one of the various web-based portals as it is a web-based portal that actually does something with the computed file hashes.
