Security at the core
Shield your business with the latest Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 technologies, silicon-assisted security, and data and identity safeguards. Innovations like Secured-core PCs and Microsoft Pluton offer extra protection for data-sensitive scenarios.
Virtualization-based security
To safeguard user credentials and essential system functions, virtualization-based security (VBS) and hypervisor-protected code integrity (HVCI) are already enabled on new Windows 11 devices.1 VBS protects against malicious exploits by hosting a secure kernel separated from the operating system.
Secure from the start
Protect critical resources such as Windows Hello2 with a hardware-based root of trust. Windows Defender System Guard helps protect and maintain the integrity of the system as it starts up and validates that system integrity has truly been maintained through local and remote attestation.
Secured-core PCs
Secured-core PCs come with the advanced security features of Windows 11 turned on protecting your most sensitive data from advanced firmware-level attack. These devices are recommended for people handling sensitive data like intellectual property, financial records, or classified information.
Operating system protection
Keep data secured with built-in protections such as advanced encryption, robust network and system security, and intelligent safeguards against ever-evolving threats.
Enhanced phishing protection
Enhanced phishing protection with Microsoft Defender SmartScreen helps thwart credential theft by warning users when they enter their Microsoft credentials into a malicious website.
Passwordless security
Lose the passwords and gain security with Windows Hello for Business. Sign in with PIN, face, or fingerprint. You can also use facial recognition with presence detection to sign you in when you approach, and lock when you leave.4
Cloud-based protection
Grow your business and improve security with cloud tools for managing policies, identities, and deployment.5
