Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Introduces Automatic Attack Kill Feature>
– Nation World News Desk
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has introduced Automatic Attack Kill, a new feature that could help users defend against ransomware attacks.
The feature will be available to organizations running Windows 10 Enterprise with Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP).
Automatic Attack Kill is designed to help stop malware and ransomware attacks before they can do their damage.
By detecting malicious activity, Automatic Attack Kill will take rapid action to help defend PCs from potential threats.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint will now automatically detect and terminate malicious processes before they can launch and spread, stopping attacks from escalating quickly.
Organizations using Microsoft Defender ATP can define a “kill chain” based on specific processes, strings, or other advanced threat detections, and when the system detects such a process, action can be quickly taken to stop the attack from escalating.
This could help reduce the damage a successful ransomware attack could leave behind.
For organizations running the latest version of Windows 10, Automatic Attack Kill can be enabled through the Windows Defender Security Center to help protect against ransomware.
The feature is accessible via Microsoft Defender ATP and requires no additional configuration or user interaction.
