Windows 10 now protects against cyberattacks
Windows Defender has offered a baseline level of PC security for years, but that's not really going to cut it in an era when data breaches and other large-scale cyberattacks are virtually commonplace. That's why Microsoft is stepping up its game: it's launching Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection, an optional Windows 10 enterprise service that flags signs of cyberattacks in time to prevent a bad situation from getting much worse. It looks for telltale clues on individual PCs, such as exploit attempts and unusual system file access. If something's up, it'll recommend a response to the IT staff -- they may not have to sift through activity logs to know what's causing grief on their network.
