'Microsoft Defender ATP' Antivirus is Coming to Linux

'Microsoft is planning to bring its Defender antivirus to Linux
systems next year, reports ZDNet:

Microsoft announced the brand change from Windows Defender to
Microsoft Defender in March after giving security analysts the tools
to inspect enterprise Mac computers for malware via the Microsoft
Defender console.

Rob Lefferts, corporate vice president for Microsoft's M365 Security,
told ZDNet that Microsoft Defender for Linux systems will be available
for customers in 2020.

In October TechSpot reported that Defender placed in the top 10 among
all major antivirus programs, narrowly beating established software
like Bitdefender, Kaspersky, and Mcafee with an online protection rate
of 99.96%, according to testing by independent lab AV-Comparative'
