In recent years, Microsoft has been beefing up its arsenal to combat cybersecurity threats for business users. The company now plans to roll out some of these protections to everyone in Windows 11.
Windows 11 22H2 Can Protect You From Phishing Attempts to Protect Your Passwords
David Weston, Vice President of Enterprise and OS Security at Microsoft, recently detailed the security improvements the company plans to make in future versions of Windows 11. These improvements should protect people from common cyberthreats.
"Microsoft has made groundbreaking investments to help protect our Windows customers with hardware security innovations like Secured-Core PCs," Weston wrote on the Microsoft Security blog. "In upcoming releases of Windows, we'll further enhance security with built-in protections to help defend against sophisticated and targeted phishing attacks."
In the post, Weston shared several defenses to protect everything, including your apps, personal data, and other connected devices. Many of the changes, like the Personal Data Encryption feature, are designed to protect remote workers. Then there are others, like the Vulnerable Driver Blocklist, which helps prevent attacks that exploit known weaknesses in drivers.
