New Windows 11 security features are designed for hybrid work
With Windows 11, you can protect your valuable data and enable secure hybrid work with the latest advanced security.
What are the new security features in Windows 11?
Windows 11 introduces several new security features aimed at enhancing protection for hybrid work environments. Notable among these is Smart App Control, which uses AI to predict the safety of applications and helps prevent the execution of untrusted software. Additionally, virtualization-based security (VBS) is employed for kernel protection, and Hypervisor-protected Code Integrity (HVCI) is enabled by default on new devices to prevent unauthorized code execution. These features work together to create a more secure operating environment.
How does Windows 11 enhance identity protection?
Windows 11 enhances identity protection through features like Windows Defender Credential Guard, which is enabled by default in the Enterprise edition. This feature protects against credential theft techniques. Additionally, Local Security Authority (LSA) protection ensures that only trusted code is executed, making it harder for attackers to steal credentials. Enhanced phishing protection in Microsoft Defender Smartscreen also warns users about compromised apps and promotes good password practices.
What is the role of the Microsoft Pluton security processor?
The Microsoft Pluton security processor is integrated into the CPU and plays a crucial role in safeguarding sensitive assets like credentials and encryption keys. By isolating these assets from the rest of the system, Pluton enhances overall security. It also receives security updates directly from the cloud through the Windows update process, simplifying management for security teams and ensuring ongoing protection against emerging threats.
