At its keynote, Microsoft introduced a number of consumer-centric features including Paint 3D, improved inking support, and support for new virtual reality headsets. In the weeks since the original announcement, we\u2019ve also learned about the Unified Update Platform (UUP) which reduces the download size of major Windows 10 updates by up to 35 percent.<\/p>\n<p>While the Creators Update might seem like all fun and games at first glance, there\u2019s a lot more going on just beneath the surface that is being geared towards business customers. Microsoft says that it has already seen a 3x increase in the number of Windows 10 deployments by enterprise customers in the past six months, and the Creators Update brings new functionality to give IT professionals a \u201csafer, more secure and more productive\u201d environment to work in.<\/p>\n<p>With the Creators Update, Microsoft has included new functionality for the Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP). Windows Defender ATP was first introduced with the Anniversary Update, but now gains more useful tools to better identify and assess cyber threats. Cyberattacks are sniffed out using sensors that not only monitor network traffic, but that can also detect both kernel-level and memory exploits. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style='font-size:18px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000'><iframe frameborder='0' style='width:640px;height:480px;' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2CzqJmNBpzc'><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will enable IT administrators to monitor loaded drivers and in-memory activities, and to detect various patterns of injection, reflective loading, and in-memory modifications indicating potential kernel exploits,\u201d says Rob Lefferts, Microsoft\u2019s Director of Program Management for Windows Enterprise and Security.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft already partners with FireEye iSIGHT Threat Intelligence to fortify the Windows Security Center, but the Creators Update gives IT administrators the ability to add their own intelligence parameters to suit their environmental needs.<\/p>\n<p>But even if IT administrators take all the proper precautions to keep employees safe, there\u2019s bound to that one guy (or gal) that will move mountains to wind up infected by some type of malware. In that case, Windows Defender ATP has built-in tools to help \u201cisolate machines, collect forensics, kill and clean running processes and quarantine or block files with a single click\u201d via the Windows Security Center.<\/p>\n<p>If that wasn\u2019t enough, Microsoft is making it easier to manage and support Windows 10 machines with the Windows Analytics dashboard and has incorporated an easy-to-use conversion tool to migrate legacy Windows 7 machines using BIOS to Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). Finally, Microsoft has implemented Mobile Device Management software, which allows employees to use their own Windows 10 PCs to access work files, while at the same time keeping the data secure, \u201cwithout [IT] taking on the added responsibility of managing employees\u2019 personal devices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft is targeting a March 2017 launch for the Windows 10 Creators Update, and by the looks of things, both consumers and business will have much to be excited about. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style='font-family:Arial;font-size:10px'>Source:- http:\/\/hothardware.com\/news\/microsoft-hardens-windows-10-creators-update-for-business-users<\/span><span style='font-size:18px;font-family:Arial'><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/microsoft-announces-windows-10-creators-update-will-modernize-it-tools-and-advanced-threat-mitigation-for-business-users.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft Announces Windows 10 Creators Update Will Modernize IT Tools And Advanced Threat Mitigation For Business Users Microsoft Announces Windows 10 Creators Update Will Modernize IT Tools And Advanced Threat Mitigation For Business Users:- Back in late October, Microsoft announced the Windows 10 Creators Update, which will arrive next spring [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16799,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[10393],"class_list":["post-16798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-microsoft-announces-windows-10-creators-update-will-modernize-it-tools-and-advanced-threat-mitigation-for-business-users"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16798"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16798\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
