Morphology
The meaning 'a program that provides protection' is directly derivable from combining 'defense' (protection from attack) with 'program' (a software or planned set of actions), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a program for defense. This noun–noun composition follows a regular, cross-linguistically common pattern (modifier + head), making the MWE transparent.
Etymology
Defense program comes from the idea of a tiny 'shield' inside the computer, where defense is the shield and program means a 'set of instructions' that runs on the machine. That 'shield' watches files and stops bad software, so the phrase means 'software to protect computers'.
