Today's ever-evolving threats require strong alignment between hardware and software technologies to keep users, data, and devices protected. The operating system alone can't defend against the wide range of tools and techniques cybercriminals use to compromise a computer. Once intruders gain a foothold, they can be difficult to detect. They engage in multiple nefarious activities, ranging from stealing important data and credentials, to implanting malware into low-level device firmware. Once malware is installed in firmware, it becomes difficult to identify and remove. These new threats call for computing hardware that is secure down to the very core, including the hardware chips and processors that store sensitive business information. With hardware-based protection, we can enable strong mitigation against entire classes of vulnerabilities that are difficult to thwart with software alone. Hardware-based protection can also improve the system's overall security without measurably slowing performance, compared to implementing the same capability in software. Today's ever-evolving threats require strong alignment between hardware and software to keep users, data, and devices protected. The operating system and software alone cannot defend against the wide range of tools used by cybercriminals to steal credentials, take data, and implant malware. In partnership with our silicon and device manufacturing partners, Windows 11 PCs shield software, hardware, and firmware with features like TPM 2.0, Microsoft Pluton, and virtualization-based security. Windows 11 PCs provide hardware-backed protection by default to significantly improve security while maintaining the performance that users expect.
With Windows 11, Microsoft raises the hardware security bar to design the most secure version of Windows ever from chip to cloud. We have carefully chosen the hardware requirements and default security features based on threat intelligence, global regulatory requirements, and our own Microsoft Security team's expertise. We have worked with our chip and device manufacturing partners to integrate advanced security capabilities across software, firmware, and hardware. Through a powerful combination of hardware root-of-trust and silicon-assisted security, Windows 11 delivers built-in hardware protection out of the box.
