Defender Management

DriveLock allows you to configure Microsoft Defender via the Policy Editor and keep track of the current status of DriveLock Agents in the DriveLock Operations Center (DOC).

All existing Microsoft Defender Antivirus Group Policy (GPO) settings can be configured in the Policy Editor.

For quick configuration, selected settings are available from within the Taskpad view:

• Settings for scanning file accesses and response to detected malware
• Exceptions for file checks or processes
• Regular scans with date and time, frequency and type of response
• Type and content of end user notifications

In addition, you can configure settings for using Defender to scan external drives:

• Use virus scanner when connecting external drives and, if necessary, automatically block access if malware is detected

Due to a known limitation of the GPO ADMX format, only operating systems from Windows 8.1 and newer are supported.

The DriveLock Operations Center (DOC) allows you to view status reports on current threats and the status of DriveLock Agents. Any threats found can be analyzed precisely and, if necessary, false or irrelevant notifications can be suppressed.

A license is required for Defender Management.
