Is there a "console" available for Windows Defender?
Is there a "console" available for Windows Defender? I have heard you can use SCCM, In-Tune and a couple others but I am looking for a console that focuses strictly on Windows Defender and nothing else. Something that makes managing and reporting with Windows Defender simple.

Thanks for another totally ambiguous article M$. Can anyone enlighten? Requiring Windows 10 Enterprise would really, really limit the audience. I have 300 endpoints across multiple customers and not one is Windows 10 Enterprise.
