But you'll need to buy lots of new hardware to get the benefit
, David Weston, vice president of enterprise and OS security at Microsoft, pointed to a number of security updates in the report, including the inclusion of Pluton, a security processor designed with chip makers that provides greater protection for encryption keys and is integrated onto the chip. It integrates capabilities in Microsoft's Trusted Platform Module and leaves room for other Pluton firmware and OS features to be added via updates.
A hardware and software approach to security is important for any company, but particularly Microsoft, according to Darryl MacLeod, vCISO at Lares Consulting. "Their products are used by billions of people around the world, making them a prime target for attackers," MacLeod told."By offering both hardware and software security solutions, Microsoft can provide a more comprehensive level of protection for its customers by minimizing the overall attack surface.
In addition, other new features are designed to protect enterprises that continue to lean on usernames and passwords for Windows authentication. The features aim to keep enterprise credentials from being used for unintended or malicious purposes and log related user activity in the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint portal.
"Because this is an end-user option, the security baseline enforces enablement of the service to ensure that the enterprise credentials used in the system are appropriately monitored and audited," Munck wrote."Based on Microsoft Defender SmartScreen's robust security infrastructure, when a user enters their credentials into a known phishing or malicious site, the service alerts the user as illustrated below. In this scenario, the setting Notify Malicious is set to Enabled.
