• New statement about Win10 1703 (Creators Update) corporate security

    Posted on December 6, 2016 at 12:18 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    Microsoft just posted a detailed look at the new security features available in the next version of Windows 10, known as Creators (no apostrophe) Update and 1703 (presumably it’ll ship next March).

    The list is extensive and impressive, from a corporate point of view:

    • Windows Security Center will tie in to Office 365’s Advanced Threat Protection
    • New features in the Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection module, including new “sensors to detect threats that persist only in memory or kernel level exploits”
    • Custom input to the Windows Security Center based on an admin’s definition of suspicious activity
    • New remediation actions (shut down, isolate, scan, quarantine) in Windows Security Center
    • Improved Windows Analytics dashboard “that will help IT administrators better manage and support Windows 10 devices. The additions to the dashboard will enable organizations to use their own telemetry to provide new insights and ensure compliance on the upgrade, update and device health processes within their organizations.”
    • A conversion tool for changing BIOS devices into UEFI
    • Mobile application control that doesn’t require Mobile Device Management enrollment
    • The UUP we’ve been talking about

    Good article, well worth checking out if you’re involved in corporate security.

    UPDATE: A few details not published in the official announcement from Blair Hanley Frank on InfoWorld.
