“Many of the optional or high-end security controls from Windows 10 are now on by default and required on new machines with Windows 11.”
Stay ahead of external and internal threats — and balance performance, reliability, and security with Windows 11. Dave Weston, Windows security expert, joins Jeremy Chapman to share the rationale behind hardware requirements and how they provide significantly more protection against today’s most sophisticated malware and attacks.
Cyber attacks are at an all time high. Many of the optional or high-end security controls from Windows 10 are now on by default and required on new machines with Windows 11. The Zero Trust security model is baked into Windows 11, from the silicon on the board itself, to the actual boot process, your login as a user, and the apps you use in your Windows session every day.
See the sites that hackers use, and find out if your organization is exposed. Protect Windows from remote and in-person attacks with Virtualization-based Security. UEFI, Secure Boot and Trusted Boot stop rootkits or bootkits . Secure encryption keys, user credentials, and sensitive data behind a hardware barrier. Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 on new installs by default.
