  1. Microsoft #Defender #SmartScreen is a component in Microsoft Edge that helps protect you while browsing the web. Do you have Defender SmartScreen active and configured?

    SmartScreen protects against #phishing, #malware, potentially unwanted applications (#PUA), exploits (a page targeting browser vulnerabilities) and malwaretising (a benign page hosting a malicious advertisement).

    Microsoft Defender SmartScreen should be configured centrally, for example, through Microsoft Intune via the Device Configuration profile, where you can use both the Settings Catalog and Administrative templates.

    If you don't have Microsoft Defender SmartScreen configured yet, be sure to fix it as soon as possible! And if you want to test SmartScreen's behavior on your computer, you can use the test site directly from Microsoft to do so. demo.smartscreen.msft.net/
