Issue/Introduction

Does Patch Management Solution offer the ability to distribute Microsoft Windows Defender definition updates?

Resolution

We provide application updates to the Defender engine and platform, not definitions.  However, once a month when you update the engine, you get the latest definitions because Microsoft bundles them together.  Definition updates are released more frequently by Microsoft and therefore you should probably update the definitions using that method and not wait for each month.
