What is the zero-trust security model in Windows 11?
The zero-trust security model in Windows 11 operates on the principle that no user or device should be trusted by default. This means every access request is explicitly verified based on data points like user identity, location, and device health. Once verified, users and devices are granted access only to the resources they need for a limited time. This approach helps organizations reduce risk and improve threat detection, ensuring a more secure environment, especially in hybrid work settings.
How does Windows 11 enhance hardware security?
Windows 11 enhances hardware security by integrating advanced features that work from the chip level up to the cloud. It requires modern hardware capabilities, such as TPM 2.0 and virtualization-based security (VBS), which help isolate sensitive data and protect it from unauthorized access. This layered approach ensures that critical information, like encryption keys and user credentials, is safeguarded against emerging threats, making it harder for attackers to compromise devices.
What role does Microsoft Pluton play in Windows 11 security?
The Microsoft Pluton security processor is designed to enhance the security of Windows 11 devices by providing a hardware root-of-trust. It integrates directly into the CPU, which reduces the attack surface and makes it more difficult for attackers to exploit communication paths. Pluton supports essential security features like Windows Hello and BitLocker, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected even in the event of malware attacks. This integration also allows for seamless updates to security firmware, keeping devices secure over time.
