Improved Windows Defender script

Recently, Microsoft updated Visual Studio code and Github Copilot to include the ability to auto detect which AI is best model to use when coding:

I therefore thought I’d take it for a spin and elected to use it to improve the script:

which you now see the results for yourself. The script require escalation to local administrator to gather the information it needs.

Tests include:

– Attack Surface Reduction Rules

– Defender Settings

– Scanning Settings

– Latest Signature / Engine Versions

– Platform Security

and more. You will find the documentation at:

https://github.com/directorcia/Office365/wiki/Windows-Security-Audit-Script

which was also generated thanks to Github Copilot.

Let me know what you think and if you feel anything should be added.
