>The Windows Defender Antivirus cloud service is a mechanism for delivering updated protection to your network and endpoints. Although it is called a cloud service, it is not simply protection for files stored in the cloud, rather it uses distributed resources and machine learning to deliver protection to your endpoints at a rate that is far faster than traditional Security intelligence updates.
With cloud-delivered protection, next-gen technologies provide rapid identification of new threats, sometimes even before a single machine is infected. Watch the following video about Microsoft AI and Windows Defender Antivirus in action:
