1. Windows Hello: Windows 11 offers support for Windows Hello, a biometric security feature that allows you to log into your device using your face, iris, or fingerprint. This replaces the need for a traditional password and adds an extra layer of protection for your device.
2. Windows Defender Security Center: The Windows Defender Security Center is a central hub for all of your security settings. It provides real-time protection from viruses, spyware, ransomware, and other malicious threats, as well as automatic updates and sophisticated parental controls.
3. Windows Information Protection: Windows 11 also includes Windows Information Protection (WIP). This feature helps protect sensitive business data by preventing it from being accidentally leaked or shared with unauthorized personnel. WIP also enforces the use of encryption on removable storage devices.
4. Windows Firewall: Windows 11 has an improved version of the Windows Firewall which allows users to monitor incoming and outgoing network connections and control which programs are allowed access to the internet. The firewall can also be used to block specific types of network traffic to help keep your computer safe from unwanted intrusions.
5. Device Guard: Device Guard is a feature that restricts the execution of any application that has not been verified by Microsoft or an approved source. This prevents malicious software from executing on a user’s device and can help protect against zero-day attacks.
6. Credential Guard: Credential Guard is a feature that uses virtualization-based security to help protect account credentials from theft. It helps protect user accounts from password-stealing malware and other attacks by isolating them from the rest of the system.
