## What is shadow protection? ## What is shadow protection?
When enabled, shadow protection extends behavioral-based blocking and containment capabilities by blocking malicious artifacts or behaviors observed through post-breach protection. This is the case even if [Windows Defender Antivirus](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/windows-defender-antivirus-in-windows-10) is not your active antivirus protection. Shadow protection is useful if your organization has not fully transitioned to Windows Defender Antivirus and if you are presently using a third-party antivirus solution. Shadow protection works behind the scenes by remediating malicious entities identified in post-breach protection that the existing third-party antivirus solution missed.
