In addition to our December announcement for the recent version of Microsoft Defender for IoT. Today we are excited to announce that our first General Availability (GA) release, version 22.1, is now available with additional Public Preview features via Azure portal to scale large environments and control the security components from a single pane of glass.
In this release, the Defender for IoT sensor console has been re-designed to create a unified Microsoft Azure experience and enhanced and simplified workflows.
Microsoft Defender for IoT's OT Sensor is a key component for deep packet inspection and OT environment analysis. The latest release emphasizes accessibility and reduces time to value by minimizing installation times for faster and more efficient deployment.
Lastly, we have leveraged our detection capabilities to get broader security coverage, with an emphasis on customizing the alert engine to detect even the most minor changes in your business-critical environments. With this release we are introducing revamped unified user experience on both the sensor console as well as the Azure portal when performing detailed incident investigation and response.
