14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft claims that Windows 10 is the most secure Windows version to date and uses every single occasion to brag about the features it comes with, thus trying to convince more people to at least give it a try.
And to make all these efforts a little bit more effective, Microsoft has created a new website that groups all the security improvements that Windows 10 boasts, offering an in-depth look at how the new operating system can protect against modern security threats.
As BetaNews notes, this website is specifically aimed at businesses, as it mostly details features that could make sense in the enterprise, but it’s still helpful for everyone to get a closer glimpse into Windows 10’s security arsenal.
1 billion devices by 2017
Microsoft then goes into detail about secured devices, identity protection, information protection, and threat resistance, explaining that while older versions such as Windows 7 and Windows 8 indeed included advanced security technologies, Windows 10 is the only one that can cope with modern threats and help protect against the latest malicious tactics online.
“In Windows 10, we have made significant architectural changes to the platform, many of which address tactics used in the attacks that you have been reading about or have personally experienced. These changes are not just defensive measures that present steeper walls for attackers to climb; they are improvements that take critical tactics off the table, in some cases entirely. To achieve this goal, Windows 10 takes full advantage of state-of-the-art hardware technologies to help protect user identities, information, and devices against hacking and malware threats,” Microsoft says.
Obviously, the primary goal of this website is to show everyone how secure Windows 10 actually is and to eventually convince more users to install it.
Redmond has a goal of bringing Windows 10 on 1 billion devices by 2017, so every little effort counts. Up until now, the OS is said to be running on around 200 million devices, so Microsoft needs to step up its game in the coming months.
