Microsoft's initiative aims to enhance Windows security by allowing endpoint solutions to operate outside the kernel, addressing performance and anti-tampering challenges for improved protection.
Joe Levy emphasized that the security summit was vital for endpoint providers to rethink kernel architectures and discuss vendor transparency, reflecting on the repercussions of the recent global IT outage.
The summit's discussions highlighted that prior to the outage, many were unaware of the implications of who has kernel access and the technologies ensuring user protection.
Microsoft acknowledged the call from customers for improved security functionalities, promising to explore secure-by-design principles to bolster Windows against future security challenges.
