The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve. If we try and implement third-party vendors with the solution we can experience issues, such as Microsoft Office 365. It will limit certain emails from being received or sent. There can be compatibility issues.

The most valuable aspects of the solution include: Tamper Protection. There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection. AMSI (Anti-Malware Scan Interface). This is a Microsoft Windows component that allows deeper inspection of built-in scripting services. AMSI is an interface that applications and services running on Windows can use to send requests scans to the antimalware product installed on the computer. Advanced malware uses disguised or encrypted scripts to evade traditional verification methods. This malware is usually loaded directly into memory, so it doesn't use any files on the device. This provides additional protection against harmful software that uses scripts or macros in key Windows components, such as PowerShell and Office365, or other applications to avoid detection. DeepGuard. This monitors applications for potentially harmful changes to the system. DeepGuard ensures that you only use safe apps. The security of an application is verified by the trusted cloud service. If the security of an application cannot be verified, DeepGuard starts monitoring the application's behavior. DeepGuard blocks new, undiscovered Trojans, Worms, Exploits, and other harmful applications that attempt to make changes on your computer and prevents suspicious applications from accessing the Internet.
