The Windows Defender plugin allows you to manager the preferences and settings for Windows Defender. Monitor the status of Windows Defender and take action when needed.



The Management of Windows Defender is done in the client console as a tab called Windows Defender. From the view you can see the status of any agent that has been successfully scanned by the plugins maintenance script. This script is automated and should run every 4 hours starting at 4 am and ending at 8 pm. Agents must be online for schedule to be created. Offline agents are skipped. Get daily alarm statuses for all your agents and across your clients.
