FYI, this isn&#x27;t your typical AV, this is expanding their EDR+NGAV offering. Their competition supports Linux but they don&#x27;t so customers with Linux servers have to buy two EDR products. This will solve that problem by letting you expand that super expensive E5 license to Linux and OS X and kick out other EDR solutions.<p>Defender ATP is quite special. There are better competitors but Defender has the advantage of being able to access Windows telemetry across all windows installs, Office365 telemetry for their threat intel and being able to literally walk to NT kernel dev&#x27;s cubicle if they have a question or need a feature plus Azure as their backend!<p>So this really is welcome news from a corporate security perspective but I would never install this on personal desktops or servers just like I wouldn&#x27;t install Crowdstrike Falcon either (the leading EDR vendor), because privacy.

Is it, too, going to use 15% of CPU when doing intensive tasks?
