Hardening Windows: Security Foundations Developers Can Build On | OD859
Windows is raising its security baseline by removing legacy NTLM, enforcing code trust by default, and preparing for post-quantum cryptography.
“We're raising the security baseline in Windows so you can rely on stronger defaults and your customers stay safer out of the box.”
A Microsoft Build session detailed how Windows is hardening its security foundations by deprecating the legacy NTLM authentication protocol, enforcing code trust by default, and preparing for post-quantum cryptography. While it notes AI is reshaping how attackers operate, the talk is primarily about platform security engineering rather than a core AI industry signal.
