Microsoft Defender for Endpoint finally supports Windows 10 on Arm JC Torres - Apr 5, 2021, 10:11pm CDT Even before Apple introduced its first Arm-based Apple Silicon, Microsoft was already making attempts at bringing Windows to Arm, specifically Qualcomm Snapdragon, computers without much success. In addition to unimpressive performance, Windows 10 on Arm felt more like an afterthought that even Microsoft forgot over the years. The popularity of the M1 Macs, however, may have spurred Microsoft into action and, at long last, it has brought its enterprise Microsoft Defender for Endpoint solution to Windows 10 on Arm, including its own Surface Pro X. Users might know Microsoft Defender as the company’s first-party antivirus software but it is actually a whole security suite that encompasses several capabilities on both consumer and enterprise levels. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, in particular, is the enterprise version of Defender that offers cloud-powered threat detection, breach investigation, and response on top of the usual antivirus and anti-malware capabilities.
