Microsoft Keeps Secure Boot Alive With New Windows Updates
Microsoft is reinforcing its commitment to Secure Boot, the firmware security feature designed to prevent unauthorized software from loading during the system startup process, through a series of new Windows updates. The updates aim to patch known vulnerabilities and strengthen the overall security of the boot process on Windows devices.
Secure Boot has been a cornerstone of Windows security for years, helping protect systems against rootkits and bootkits that attempt to compromise machines before the operating system fully loads. Microsoft's continued investment in the technology comes as security researchers have identified new attack vectors targeting the boot process. The updates ensure that Secure Boot remains a robust line of defense, reflecting Microsoft's broader strategy of hardening Windows against increasingly sophisticated threats.
