Microsoft subsequently said it provides more insight into the enterprise IT management team:
For businesses that still use Windows 7/8.1, we provide an EDR-based behavioral solution that gives the security team more insight. Administrators can view all tests and events in Windows Defender Security Center to provide comprehensive cloud-based controls for Windows Defender ATP. Security teams have access to known / unknown alerts, additional threat intelligence, and detailed machine timelines for follow-up surveys and manual responses.
Microsoft said business users can run third-party antivirus software while enabling System Center Endpoint Protection (SCEP) for Windows 7/8.1 devices. However, in the Windows 10 system, Microsoft said Windows Defender anti-virus software to provide better and more timely security detection and protection.
