What are the main security improvements in Windows 11?
Windows 11 primarily focuses on hardware security requirements to mitigate various firmware attacks, zero-day exploits, malware infection, and other cyber attacks.
- Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0: One of the major hardware security requirements for installing Windows 11, the TPM aims to reduce phishing and other password-based attacks and gives a boost to any zero-trust security approach. The chip is either integrated into the PC’s motherboard or added separately into the CPU.
- Secure Boot: This security measure ensures that the PC boots only trusted software components signed by Microsoft or computer manufacturers, preventing malicious software from loading when the PC boots.
- Virtualization-based security (VBS): This feature enables several security capabilities, including memory integrity and credential protection for common enterprise credential types, such as NTLM. VBS is enabled by default when installing Windows 11 as a new operating system, but not when upgrading from Windows 10.
- Microsoft Azure Attestation (MAA): Windows 11 offers support for MAA by default, enabling users to enforce zero-trust policies when accessing sensitive resources in the cloud. Azure Attestation-backed policies verify both identity and platform, helping organizations to safeguard organization resources.
