Scheduled scans are coming to AV policies in Defender for Endpoint on Linux

One of the things I’ve always missed when deploying antivirus policies for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Linux devices were scheduled scans.

And I said ‘were’ because they are coming. Currently in preview, now you can set up scheduled scans settings used a custom JSON setting or, if you use Intune or security settings management an antivirus policy instead of using a cron job like until now.
