Microsoft defender locks the data files in the data directory during the scans. Which created a problem for us in the past. You need to skip the data directory from the Microsoft defender scans.
The oganization I work for uses some postgres databases installed on Linux servers. The security team is planning to initiate Microsoft Defender Anti Virus scanning on these servers in an "Active" mode.
This will mean that the Postgres Installation directories and files will be scanned by Microsoft Defender and quarantine any threats.
We have requested to exclude the data directories from the Antivirus scanning.
Is anyone aware of any performance, operational, or data-loss related challenges with Anti Virus scanning of Postgres binaries?
