What is Microsoft Defender
Microsoft Defender is your trusted gateway to a safer digital experience—protecting your devices, data, and identity across all your connected platforms. With one streamlined subscription, you get real-time threat detection, smart firewall protection, and advanced phishing defense that works seamlessly on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.
Whether you’re working remotely, shopping online, or just streaming your favorite shows, Microsoft Defender ensures peace of mind with comprehensive security built to keep up with your lifestyle.
Good to know: There are no surprise charges, and you’re free to cancel anytime. Just keep in mind—once you cancel, real-time protection and your personalized security settings will no longer be active across your devices.
