It’s a thing in big orgs, where macros are enabled in excel and employees can be tricked into opening mail attachments. Windows defender should suffice, but like you said, from a compliance/insurance perspective it may me valuable to say “look, we scanned for signatures according to the latest knowledge of [insert vendor]”.

Personally I think that it’s ridiculous that these huge orgs fail to address the actual underlying issue, excel macros. But hey, it’s easier to fight the Symptome than to deal with the root cause, especially if the latter would impact established work flows god knows how far down the line.
