On the other hand, the upcoming Microsoft Defender Gibraltar will be available to everyone.
Project Gibraltar is based on the idea of a security hub and will not replace the existing security solutions offered by the company. This new Microsoft Defender experience will be free for consumers and its main function will be to maintain a security toolbar.
Details are not yet available, but a leaked Microsoft Store listing has confirmed that the new Defender will be available on Android, iOS and Mac devices.
“Microsoft Defender is a security app that gives you peace of mind. Through our personalized board control, you can see the security status of your Windows device and other connected devices (Mac, iOS, and Android) all in one place,” Microsoft says in a Store listing.
The application has been written from the beginning. Microsoft Defender Gibraltar will allow you to track antivirus, malware scanning, phishing, password breaches, etc.
It will be optimized for home users, so it will be possible to add family members to the security control panel. You will be able to create invitations using email or QR. If you open the invitation connection on a MacBook, you will be prompted to download the Microsoft Defender client.
We do not know the release date at this time, but we believe we will see it on Windows 11 and Android in a few months.
