Although it is not an aspect that is visible to the naked eye, Microsoft has worked a lot on an aspect of vital importance for any operating system, especially one that is going to be used by millions of people around the globe, security. There are several aspects of security in Windows 10 that are highlighted by the hackers themselves and that makes us realize the great work that Microsoft has done in this regard.
Four aspects of Windows 10 that surprise hackers
1 - Integrated Antimalware Tools
Microsoft has integrated into Windows Defender a new malware scanning system called AMSI and which is also present in AVG Antivirus. This new scanning system allows to block malicious scripts that are in memory. Attacks on the system using scripts that are stored in memory were used mainly through PowerShell. Before AMSI came, it was very difficult to block these scripts once they resided in memory. This has been a step forward in terms of security and a headache for hackers.
2 - More Active Directory Protection
Active Directory or Active Directory is a centralized service where you can control an entire computer network, as if it were a cyber-cafe, but for the business sector, where security plays a fundamental role.
Before Windows 10, it was possible to hack the entire network only by taking control of one of the computers with basic privileges. This changed and now it is much more complex to do it by hacking just one computer on the network, especially since Microsoft releases very regular updates where the vulnerabilities that may arise are patched.
3 - Virtualization to contain attacks
Microsoft introduced a new concept in security with 'virtualization-based security' (VBS).
When VSB is enabled, Hyper-V creates a specialized virtual machine with a high confidence level to execute security commands in cases where hackers have accessed or want to access the root partition. VBS is designed not to allow any unsigned code to be executed in the kernel kernel of the system, even if the kernel has been compromised.
4 - The security fence is higher
The work so that hackers can get hold of a Windows 10 computer is getting more complicated, not only because of the previous three points, but also because of the speed with which Microsoft covers security holes. Shortly after hackers discover a security hole through which to enter the system, Microsoft fixes it in a short time, making it a constant start over.
Currently when an operating system or an application is hacked, it is because it is not updated and that depends more than anything on the users to keep their software always up to date.
Currently the latest Microsoft operating system is the most secure that has been created so far and is something that has been reinforced with the arrival of the Anniversary update.
