Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, the enterprise version of its Windows 10 Defender antivirus, now comes with support for blocking cryptojacking malware using Intel’s silicon-based Threat Detection Technology (TDT) Intel TDT couples low-level hardware telemetry collected from the CPU’s performance monitoring unit (PMU) with machine learning to detect cryptomining malware at execution time. Microsoft also wants to use the technology in the future to detect and stop other malware strains and attack techniques such as ransomware and side-channel attacks.
