Microsoft set to withdraw direct kernel access from security software
Briefly

Microsoft is collaborating with major security firms to create a new security platform that restricts security software from operating at the kernel level, aiming to mitigate risks seen in past incidents like the CrowdStrike update failure that crashed millions of Windows machines. This joint effort signifies a shift as competitors work together to establish shared standards. The changes will be introduced gradually, initially affecting antivirus software, and will be followed by updates like Quick Machine Recovery to improve system recoverability for users.
Microsoft aims to enhance OS security by preventing security software from running at kernel level to mitigate risks following last year's CrowdStrike incident.
The collaboration among competing security companies such as CrowdStrike and Microsoft marks a notable shift, focusing on developing new standards for safer software integration.
