### "Microsoft Defender para Office 365"

May 4, 2021

5.0

Gain insight into the threat landscape and use real insights to mitigate threats across the organization.

Pros

Provide email protection for corporate Office 365 accounts to defend against various threats, including credential phishing and corporate email leaks, as well as automatic remediation of detected attacks

Cons

You can still cheat on emails on a regular basis. The solution is not as powerful as other vendors, and it still poses some security threats.

### "Extra Layer of Protection"

May 19, 2021

3.0

It is a good line of defense against malicious attempts to obtain company information.

Pros

This software is good to filter out phishing email attempts and to detect viruses on One Drive. Ever since the pandemic, there has been more malicious attempts to access company information so this has been a good software to provide more protection.

Cons

Some phishing emails are still able to get through but it gets a majority of them. Can't be mad at it!

### "Defender Made Simple"

June 29, 2021

4.0

I have since not been using the defender to my knowledge, but would consider giving it another try because of how it is integrated into my system already.

Pros

The best part is that the free service came integrated with my computer. No setup really required. I used it for a brief time.

Cons

I do not like subscription services or being reminded constantly to update. Sometimes it seems that these software are gimmicks, and I am not quite sure if they really make a difference.

### "first layer security"

March 31, 2021

4.0

this software is good, but as we know nothing is perfect. Windows has done a decent job to design and install this software but it need some improvements. . The access to updates, customer support and protection against all threats is something I would definitely want. I will recommend it as first payer of security. But you still need a good security software in your PC

Pros

You don't need to configure the software as it comes pre-installed on the windows OS. The software is minimalistic and will start doing the job from the time you boot your computer. Basic checking of pen drives, CDs and internet websites is possible from this.

Cons

I am not sure if there is a need for a separate license and also not sure about the procedure to get the license if that is required
