An Intellyx Brain Candy Update
We last wrote a Brain Candy post on endpoint defense vendor Ziften in September 2017. Since that time, the company has inked a partnership with Microsoft, extending Microsoft Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) endpoint protection software to Macintosh and Linux endpoints.
Ziften can also protect Windows endpoints, but Microsoft has that covered. However, Microsoft would rather partner with a company like Ziften for non-Microsoft operating system capabilities rather than build such technology itself, a pattern Microsoft has followed for decades.
Ziften has tightly integrated its technology with Microsoft’s, enabling admins to detect, investigate, and respond to cyberattacks on macOS and Linux-based endpoints directly within the Microsoft Windows Defender ATP Management Console.
