Windows 11 is designed with security as a core principle, featuring layers of protection enabled by default. This approach allows organizations to focus on their work without worrying about security settings. Out-of-the-box features like credential safeguards and malware shields have led to a reported 58% drop in security incidents, including a 3.1x reduction in firmware attacks.

Windows 11 provides proactive protection against credential theft through features like Windows Hello and TPM 2.0, which work together to secure identities. The use of biometric sign-in methods significantly reduces the risk of lost or stolen passwords. Businesses have reported 2.8 times fewer instances of identity theft thanks to the hardware-backed protection in Windows 11.

Windows 11 streamlines IT management through a chip-to-cloud security solution that improves productivity for IT and security teams by approximately 25%. The integration of modern device management tools, such as Microsoft Intune, allows organizations to enforce compliance and ensure that devices accessing their network are trustworthy, thereby enhancing overall security and efficiency.
