IOS and Linux users will soon be able to protect their devices using Windows 10 Antivirus in line with new Microsoft 365 roadmap updates. Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), which was recently renamed Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, is now it is rolling out to iOS and Linux devices. Microsoft for Endpoint on iOS will provide iPhone and iPad users with phishing protection, along with the ability to block insecure connections and create custom flags. Security teams will be able to access alerts and threat information from employees' iOS devices through the Microsoft Defender Security Center. According to a recently released update to the Microsoft 365 roadmap, MTD for iOS is now in preview and the feature is rolling out to users around the world.
Linux protection
While mobile users on iOS will soon be protected from phishing and insecure logins, Microsoft also revealed in another update to its Microsoft 365 roadmap that Linux users will soon have access to extended protection as well. The software giant makes available to customers Microsoft Defender endpoint protection and response capabilities for endpoints running Linux. These users will soon have the ability to "detect advanced attacks involving Linux servers, use rich investigative experiences, perform advanced investigations, and rapidly remediate threats on Linux servers." Microsoft's new Linux EDR features are still under development according to the Microsoft 365 roadmap, but could be rolled out soon, with their release scheduled for November of this year. A large portion of global servers are currently running Linux, which means these new features will be very useful for IT teams trying to detect and prevent attacks against their organization's servers.
