How to Access the Service
Currently, the CIS Help Desk will need to install Defender for faculty and staff. We will install it for all new faculty and staff computers and help transition any older computers from Trend Micro Apex One to Microsoft Defender. Please reach out to the help desk at helpdesk@hmc.edu for any questions on installing Microsoft Defender.
Students can download the MS Defender security app and sign in with your HMC credentials on up to 5 devices at a time. Please reach out to the help desk at helpdesk@hmc.edu for any questions on installing Microsoft Defender.
