Either module updates have killed the Defender or there is a server-side problem at Microsoft. This question is unanswered, although this is currently not a big problem under Windows 7 &#8211; no one will just rely on Windows Defender, but use a separate antivirus solution.<\/p>\n<p>Under Windows 10, however, Microsoft positions Windows Defender as a complete antivirus solution. And especially in the enterprise environment, Microsoft offers very good protection with Windows Defender Advanced Thread Protection (ATP) and cloud services &#8211; provided everything is set up correctly. <\/p>\n<h2>Does the Firewall blocks Windows Defender Cloud access?<\/h2>\n<p>In corporate networks, outgoing connections are often limited via a firewall. This may prevent Windows Defender from accessing the cloud to detect threats or the servers to download new signatures. Recently I became aware of this topic via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SwiftOnSecurity\/status\/1012870382670491648\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"de\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Is your Windows Defender\/SCEP missing detections? <br \/>Are you behind a corporate firewall?<\/p>\n<p>Your network team may have broken Defender cloud protection connections as part of an overbroad Windows Update block. This happens!
