Monitor. Investigate. Contain. Remediate.
Sentinel AI is a Windows security suite built to help protect your PC beyond basic antivirus. It continuously monitors security-relevant activity, correlates evidence, investigates suspicious behavior, supports threat containment and quarantine, and verifies remediation outcomes. Microsoft Defender remains the antivirus/antimalware engine and Sentinel AI works alongside it.

How Sentinel AI and Microsoft Defender work together
Microsoft Defender Antivirus provides Windows malware and virus scanning. Sentinel AI does not pretend to replace that antivirus engine. Instead, Sentinel AI adds the broader security-suite layer around it: continuous monitoring, investigation, correlation, containment, quarantine, verified remediation, security history, optimization, and evidence-grounded guidance.
The simple distinction: Defender is the antivirus engine. Sentinel AI is the broader Windows security suite working alongside it.
