How to disable Windows Defender and related services on Win 11?
NOTE that Microsoft is not a security company however, and they don't keep up-to-date on the latest/greatest threats, as was seen a few years ago during the Meltdown/Spectre fiasco. As such, procuring a non-Microsoft solution is often ideal; This is a rational identification that a company that specializes in security won't be held back or restrict access to fixes, which may impede the product itself (Windows); This is a value which is provided significant weight by being identifiable within the CISSP curriculum, particularly within it's IAM sections; 'If you don't have authority in a domain, don't modify it.' Additionally, Security products don't play nicely with each other, as their primary goal is access restriction (for unauthorized processes), meaning one can easily recognize another as a threat b/c it is scanning and reviewing components/processes it should not be. As such, disabling & replacing Microsoft's defender solution SHOULD be priority 1 for ANY enterprise.
