Cloud Protection should be enabled
Why This Matters
Without cloud-delivered protection, Microsoft Defender Antivirus relies solely on locally cached definitions, leaving endpoints vulnerable to rapidly evolving threats. Attackers often exploit zero-day vulnerabilities before local signatures are updated. Enabling this feature ensures real-time threat intelligence from the Microsoft cloud, providing faster detection and response to emerging malware.
What Aether365 Checks
This check verifies that the cloud-delivered protection setting in Microsoft Defender Antivirus is enabled. It appears in the Aether365 dashboard under the defender category, helping you identify endpoints that lack this critical real-time protection.
