Microsoft has announced today the general availability of Microsoft Defender for Individuals, the company's new security solution for personal phones and computers.
This new cross-device security solution is available for all Microsoft 365 customers with Personal or Family subscriptions starting today.
You can download the Microsoft Defender app for Windows from the Microsoft Store, for iPhones in the Apple App Store, and Android phones in Google Play, and directly download the macOS from here.
Defender for Individuals is not currently available in all Microsoft 365 regions.
Microsoft 365 Personal plan allows subscribers to use Defender for Individuals on up to 5 devices with the same account and up to 30 devices simultaneously with the Family plan.
In May, Redmond also announced the general availability of its Microsoft Defender for Business, the company's standalone enterprise-grade endpoint security solution for small to medium-sized businesses.
