Improved security via the Cloud will be at the top of the agenda for the world-renowned company, Communicate Better can reveal.

This will be come as part of Microsoft's Fall Creators Updates, which will consist of a number of new Windows 10 antivirus features.

In a bid to stay ahead of threats, the company is doubling down on its existing security efforts, and will use the cloud to analyse security breaches and prevent attacks.

According to Tech Crunch, Microsoft is also boosting the Windows Defender Exploit Guard with data it gathers from across its users.
