In 2019, Microsoft announced an initiative to design secured-core PCs. This was a direct action to counter growing threats and attacks that were exploiting firmware-level vulnerabilities. In October 2021, Microsoft released Windows 11, which came with tons of features to provide enhanced user protection at the hardware level. This is a giant step toward providing zero-trust security from the device to the cloud.
Here are five enhanced security features included with Windows 11.
• Trusted platform module (TPM) security. All certified Windows 11 devices will come with a TPM 2.0 chip. This TPM chip protects sensitive information like encryption keys, user credentials and more by building a hardware fence from attacks.
