[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1117396, member: 114717"] In the video Leo talks at length about the VMRay analysis of the malware. He shows in the analysis report how that malware uses multiple tactics, techniques, and procedures and Microsoft Defender does not detect them. Leo is good at what he does, but he is not exactly the best at explaining the points he is trying to make. Combine that with social media where people interpret whatever they read, view or hear in ways that are incorrect, and it is no surprise that there are those people who think Leo is the global leader of a conspiracy against Defender and Microsoft. Still others claim he is an agent of a competitor. The negative viewpoints against Leo are unsubstantiated and so ridiculous that nobody with a shred of common sense can take them seriously. If Leo made his demonstrations in-person where people were in front of him, and they could ask questions, and Leo could explain, then the interpretations made by people would be nothing like they are after watching his videos. I quickly understood what Leo was saying about Defender's behavioral detections, but certainly most people missed it and just see the video as another "Here we go again... Leo hating on Microsoft Defender." You and I both know that testing behavioral detections is a complex subject, but there is sufficient proof available that Microsoft Defender behavioral detection is not one of its strengths. As a product feature, the behavioral detection is not the industry leading best nor is it the worst. Against certain types of threats it will be competitive with other solutions, but against other types of threats it will not do well. The real strength of Defender is that it can be combined with other Windows security features. The HUGE problem with that is that Microsoft intends that for managed endpoints, and not unmanaged home users. With a few hardening tweaks (primarily default-deny), native Windows security quickly and easily surpasses the protection capabilities of all other default-allow security or security where the user has to make a decision.
