Microsoft wants you to forget passwords and threats with the improvements that will come supported by the use of AI

A while ago we made reference to two of the novelties that we will see in _hardware_ in the coming years from Microsoft. These are the Surface Hub 2S and Surface 2X, two devices that will arrive in 2019 and 2020 respectively But they are not the only novelties.

In the Ignite 2018 conference, Microsoft has also talked about security and has done so by referring to new features that seek to reinforce security in our computersand therefore guarantee, if this term can be used, the privacy of our data.

Improving Authenticator

To this end, it has announced improvements in its Authenticator application, an app that will benefit from the arrival of additions that will make users They can forget about the use of passwords or at least the use as we have conceived it up to now.

The reason is that users will be able to do without passwords for logins to all Azure Active Directory connected applications Y Since these applications number in the thousands, a large number of _passwords_ will be left in limbo.

In addition and in parallel announced enhancements to Microsoft Secure Score, as it now offers support for Enterprise Mobility + Security and Azure Security Center . With this improvement from Microsoft they ensure that the presence of threats is significantly reduced, even talking about 30% less.

Another of the announced services goes by the name of Microsoft Threat Protection It is an all-in-one combination of all protection functions against threats in which the system will extract the data from Office 365 Threat Intelligence, Azure Active Directory Identity Protection and Windows Advanced Threat Protection to shape them into a single Control panel.

This Control Panel or dashboard provides information on active threats, resolved incidents, and still latent risks for users, devices, and email accounts. Once detected, Artificial Intelligence will be in charge of, based on them, trying to find a solution and incidentally relying on them to discover new ones

In short, a series of measures, these adopted by Microsoft, to try to strengthen security on our computers, a factor that increasingly we are more concerned.
