- If you are running an Oracle Cloud Database in a private Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, you can now very easily monitor and control your security posture with Oracle Data Safe. Read the blog to learn more.
- Your cloud infrastructure can be set up to create multiple copies of your data, so if a single machine or even an entire data centre is destroyed for any reason, your data will still be safe. The data centers themselves are physically remote anyway, so it is almost unthinkable that they would be destroyed.
- Your data is always encrypted with strong 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES): on your devices, computers and in a cloud. Cloud Synchronization Sync your data automatically with your own cloud account on Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or even your own NAS server (via WebDAV).
Note
What makes cloud storage so safe? First, servers are usually located in warehouses that most workers don’t have access to. Secondly, the files stored on cloud servers are encrypted. This means that they are scrambled, which makes it far harder for cybercriminals to access. Backblaze Review. Unlimited storage. No file size limits. Relatively inexpensive.
The Microsoft Defender Antivirus cloud service is a mechanism for delivering updated protection to your network and endpoints. Although it is called a cloud service, it is not simply protection for files stored in the cloud; rather, it uses distributed resources and machine learning to deliver protection to your endpoints at a rate that is far faster than traditional Security intelligence updates.
Microsoft Defender Antivirus uses multiple detection and prevention technologies to deliver accurate, real-time, and intelligent protection. Get to know the advanced technologies at the core of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint next-generation protection.
You can turn Microsoft Defender Antivirus cloud-delivered protection on or off in several ways:
- Microsoft Intune
- Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager
- Group Policy
- PowerShell cmdlets.
You can also turn it on or off in individual clients with the Windows Security app.
See Use Microsoft cloud-delivered protection for an overview of Microsoft Defender Antivirus cloud-delivered protection.
For more information about the specific network-connectivity requirements to ensure your endpoints can connect to the cloud-delivered protection service, see Configure and validate network connections.
Note
In Windows 10, there is no difference between the Basic and Advanced reporting options described in this topic. This is a legacy distinction and choosing either setting will result in the same level of cloud-delivered protection. There is no difference in the type or amount of information that is shared. For more information on what we collect, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
Use Intune to turn on cloud-delivered protection
- Go to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center (https://endpoint.microsoft.com) and log in.

Use Group Policy to turn on cloud-delivered protection
On your Group Policy management device, open the Group Policy Management Console, right-click the Group Policy Object you want to configure and select Edit.
In the Group Policy Management Editor, go to Computer configuration.
Select Administrative templates.
Expand the tree to Windows components > Microsoft Defender Antivirus > MAPS
Double-click Join Microsoft MAPS. Ensure the option is turned on and set to Basic MAPS or Advanced MAPS. Select OK.
Double-click Send file samples when further analysis is required. Ensure that the first option is set to Enabled and that the other options are set to either:
Send safe samples (1)
Send all samples (3)
Note
The Send safe samples (1) option means that most samples will be sent automatically. Files that are likely to contain personal information will still prompt and require additional confirmation.
Warning
Setting the option to Always Prompt (0) will lower the protection state of the device. Setting it to Never send (2) means that the Block at First Sight feature of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint won't work.
Select OK.
Use PowerShell cmdlets to turn on cloud-delivered protection
The following cmdlets can turn on cloud-delivered protection:
For more information on how to use PowerShell with Microsoft Defender Antivirus, see Use PowerShell cmdlets to configure and run Microsoft Defender Antivirus and Defender cmdlets. Policy CSP - Defender also has more information specifically on -SubmitSamplesConsent.
Note
You can also set -SubmitSamplesConsent to SendSafeSamples (the default setting), NeverSend, or AlwaysPrompt. The SendSafeSamples setting means that most samples will be sent automatically. Files that are likely to contain personal information will still prompt and require additional confirmation.
Warning
Setting -SubmitSamplesConsent to NeverSend or AlwaysPrompt will lower the protection level of the device. In addition, setting it to NeverSend means that the Block at First Sight feature of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint won't work.
Use Windows Management Instruction (WMI) to turn on cloud-delivered protection
Use the Set method of the MSFT_MpPreference class for the following properties:
For more information about allowed parameters, see Windows Defender WMIv2 APIs
Turn on cloud-delivered protection on individual clients with the Windows Security app
Note
If the Configure local setting override for reporting Microsoft MAPS Group Policy setting is set to Disabled, then the Cloud-based protection setting in Windows Settings will be greyed-out and unavailable. Changes made through a Group Policy Object must first be deployed to individual endpoints before the setting will be updated in Windows Settings.
Open the Windows Security app by selecting the shield icon in the task bar, or by searching the start menu for Defender.
Select the Virus & threat protection tile (or the shield icon on the left menu bar) and then the Virus & threat protection settings label:
Confirm that Cloud-based Protection and Automatic sample submission are switched to On.
Note
If automatic sample submission has been configured with Group Policy then the setting will be greyed-out and unavailable.

What are Safe People?
Safe Cloud Password
If you surf around this website, you would soon discover I am a strong proponent of getting connected in good, safe relationships. It is the underlying ingredient of having a healthy, maturing life.
So, what are safe relationships? A safe relationship is one that does three things:
- Draws us closer to God. (Matthew 22:37-38)
- Draws us closer to others. (Matthew 22:39)
- Helps us become the real person God created us to be. (Ephesians 2:10)
When John (Townsend) and I asked people to describe a “safe person” to us, they gave us these descriptions:
- A person who accepts me just like I am.
- A person who loves me no matter how I am being or what I do.
- A person whose influence develops my ability to love and be responsible.
- Someone who creates love and good works within me.
- Someone who gives me an opportunity to grow.
- Someone who increases love within me.
- Someone I can be myself around.
- Someone who allows me to be on the outside what I am on the inside.
- Someone who helps me to deny myself for others and God.
- Someone who allows me to become the “me” that God intended.
- Someone who helps me become the “me” God sees in me.
- Someone whose life touches mine and leaves me better for it.
- Someone who touches my life and draws me closer to who God created me to be.
- Someone who helps me be like Christ.
- Someone who helps me love others more.
We all want people in our lives that help us in these ways. But how do we recognize them? What do they look like?
If we are to begin to utilize safe relationships, we need to first understand what a safe person is and why we need that kind of safety.
The best example of a safe person is found in Jesus. In him were fount the three qualities of a safe person; dwelling, grace and truth. As John wrote: “The Word became flesh and lived for a while among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).
Dwelling
Dwelling refers to someone’s ability to connect with us. The Greek word used here means to “encamp” or “reside.” The origin of this word has to do with the human body as the place where the spirit resides. What this means is that safe relationships are an aspect of the incarnational qualities of Jesus, for Jesus came as a man, in the flesh. Safe people are able to “dwell in the flesh.” They are able to connect in a way that we know that they are present with us.
Grace
The second safe quality that Jesus exemplifies is grace. Grace is “unmerited favor.” It means that someone is on our side; they are “for us.” Grace implies unconditional love and acceptance with no condemnation. Relationships in which people shame or condemn us are ultimately hurtful and do not produce growth. They require us to be different that we are in order to be accepted. Love that must be earned is basically useless.
Grace does the opposite. It says that you are accepted just like you are and that you will not be shamed or incur wrath for whatever you are experiencing.
Truth
The third quality that Jesus embodied for us was truth. Truth implies many things, but in relationships it implies honesty, being real with one another, and living out the truth of God. Many people think that safe relationships are relationships that just give grace without confrontation, but ultimately these relationships can be destructive as well.
We need people in our life that will be honest with us, telling us where we are wrong and where we need to change. We need friends that walk according to the truth and live out the principles of God with us. This does not mean that they are not accepting, but it means that in their acceptance of us, they are honest about our faults without condemning us.
In summary
Good safe relationships are ones where:

- We can be present with another, connecting on a deep level.
- We receive grace and acceptance with no condemnation, giving us freedom from the fear of rejection.
- We can speak the truth to one another, confronting each other as needed.
As we develop these kinds of relationships, accompanied by the work of the Holy Spirit, we will begin to see true growth. Before we know it, we will be closer to God, closer to others, and on the road to becoming the real person God created us to be.
