Additional OS Support for Storage Defender Sensors


IBM Storage Defender includes Sensors that are invented by IBM Research and are first active AI-backed threat detection against malware filesystem activity tye of sensors in market. The additional file-level ransomware active threat detection provided by these sensors is a very big selling point for Storage Defender.

However, the list of supported OS's for these sensors is very limited, and as such largely negates that value of the sensors. Adding compatibility of these sensors with very widely-deployed OS's would greatly enhance their value, and thereby the overall value of Storage Defender.

Please add Storage Defender Sensor support for these very widely-deployed Operating Systems:
