Microsoft at the conference Ignite 2024 I presented < /A> A number of Windows safety innovations, emphasizing the protection of user and organizations data. One of the key ads was the continuation of the initiative of Secure Future Initiative (SFI) aimed at creating a safe platform for users and developers.
Microsoft strengthened the defense in Windows 11, introducing functions such as Quick Machine Recovery. This technology allows administrators to eliminate problems on devices remotely, even if the operating system does not load. The solution will be available to the Windows Insider program at the beginning of 2025.
The company also announced the integration of new mechanisms of Fishing protection, improved user privileges and tightening controls over the installation of applications and drivers. The new Administrator Protection function allows you to temporarily grant the administrator rights only to complete a specific task, minimizing the risks of abuse.
The Windows Resilience initiative presents several updates, including improvements in the protection of identification data, such as Windows Hello and Personal Data Encryption. These technologies provide safe data encryption and protect against theft of accounts.
In addition, Microsoft switches to safer programming languages, such as Rust, reducing the likelihood of vulnerabilities. In addition, to improve the security of the ecosystem, the company introduces the Safe Deployment Practices policy to minimize possible malfunctions when updating products.
Windows 11, according to Microsoft, has become a more secure system by default due to basic hardware requirements, such as TPM 2.0 and Credential Guard. New devices are also equipped with Microsoft Pluton processors, providing reliable protection against attacks on firmware.
innovations, including hot correction support and renewal of configuration policies, will allow enterprises to respond faster to threats and minimize simple systems. And the new Zero Trust DNS function will ensure strict control over network connections at the level of domain names.
The company said that the results of its efforts reduced the number of security incidents by 62%, and the number of attacks on the firmware and theft of identification data was tripled. These measures emphasize Microsoft to make Windows not only a platform for innovation, but also a reliable protection for users and enterprises in conditions of growing cyberosis.
