The upcoming Creators Update will beef up the capabilities of Windows Defender Antivirus and Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection to make this real-time protection a better reality. Windows Defender Antivirus uses the cloud and AI with the Microsoft Intelligent Security Graph to identify new threats (including ransomware) as they first appear anywhere in the world to quickly find a means of protecting users. For example, Microsoft Edge, the new search engine built for Windows 10, uses tools like Kernel Control Flow Guard (kCFG) and Arbitrary Code Guard (ACG) to seek out and mitigate threats.
It is now known that cyberattack was most effective against older and more obsolete operating systems, which is why Microsoft is stressing the effectiveness of its newest Windows platform that receives constant updates from staying ahead of threats before they strike. The software manufacturer also stated that no one using the new Windows 10 S reported any successful ransomware attacks against their computers, nor were any Windows 10 users affected by the WannaCrypt attacks. Microsoft praises its own internal efforts for its effectiveness towards repelling the recent ransomware attacks.
Microsoft seems to be doubling down on its own antivirus software as well as hardware solutions to deal with the debilitating attacks like WannaCrypt.
In a recent article from Microsoft, the subject of combating ransomware like the recent attacks around the world takes center stage as a premier addition to the Windows 10 Creators Update. Microsoft announces that protection from ransomware like the recent “WannaCrypt” attacks will be part of the long-awaited Windows 10 Creators Update.
