 ## Introduction
 
-Today’s organizations face a world of accelerated change, from marketplace fluctuation and sociopolitical events to the rapid adoption of new AI technologies. However, as organizations and industries innovate, so do increasingly sophisticated cybercriminals. Research shows that employees, including their devices, services, and identities, are at the center of attacks on businesses of all sizes. Some leading threats include identity attacks, ransomware, targeted phishing attempts, and business email compromise. <sup>[\[1\]](conclusion.md#footnote1)</sup>

 In Windows 11, hardware and software work together to shrink the attack surface, protect system integrity, and shield valuable data. New and enhanced features are designed for security by default. For example, Win32 apps in isolation<sup>[\[3\]](conclusion.md#footnote3)</sup>, token protection<sup>[\[3\]](conclusion.md#footnote3)</sup>, passkeys and Microsoft Intune Endpoint Privilege Management<sup>[\[4\]](conclusion.md#footnote4)</sup> are some of the latest capabilities that help protect organizations and individual users against attack. Windows Hello and Windows Hello for Business work with hardware-based features like Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 and biometric scanners and Windows presence sensing to enable easier, secure sign-on and protection of your data and credentials.

 ### Identity protection
 
-Attackers are increasingly targeting employees and their devices, so organizations need stronger security against increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats.
