INFO: Microsoft Security Rebranding “Decoder Ring”

Our Enterprise Security Executive, Andreae Pohlman, helped me understand the rebranding and all the “renaming of products” that occurred when we moved to the the “Microsoft Defender” branding of our security solutions.

Here’s a cheat sheet she shared with me.  Hopefully it’s useful for you too.
