Microsoft Brings Post-Breach Detection To Windows 10 (sdtimes.com)

mmoorebz writes: Microsoft is recognizing the increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks on enterprises, which is why it is taking a new approach to protect its customers. Today it announced its new post-breach enterprise security service called Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection, which will respond to these advanced attacks on companies' networks. Attackers these days are using social engineering and zero-day vulnerabilities to break into corporate networks. According to Microsoft, thousands of attacks were reported in 2015 alone. The company found that it currently takes an enterprise more than 200 days to detect a security breach, and 80 days to contain it. When there is such a breach, the attackers can steal company data, find private information, and damage the brand and customer trust in the company.

Awesome!

It'll be a great tool while Microsoft maintains it for six months, and then it will be even more worthless than Symantec antivirus but people will still trust it.

Just has been the case with every previous Microsoft antivirus/antimalware effort.

So instead of fixing the problem...

they fix the symptom. That company is dying, and I see why most of their good employees have fled.
