Microsoft Improves The Security Features Of Windows 8

When Microsoft released Windows 8, the company was hoping that the operating system would be a huge hit. However, contrary to this, the operating system failed miserably due to the lack of many features, poor user interface and security concerns. Now, Microsoft has brought some changes to the security settings of the program and these changes are surely going to make the operating system more user-friendly. In this post, we will find out what all changes have been added to the operating system by the software giant.

ASLR

The major function of ASLR is to protect the core of the operating system from different issues, like the dereference of the program being exposed to kernel mode NULL. With this, the cyber attackers will find it difficult to hack into the operating system. Keep in mind that this is one of the major access points for cyber attackers. With this gateway blocked, it is never easy for the attackers to get into your system.

Storage pile randomization

Malware programmers, who plan to attack your computer, will now find it difficult to carry out the attacks since the storage pile randomization will prevent all such kind of attacks. However, the operating system might use up your memory for the heap randomization process.

UEFI 2.3.1

The support for UEFI 2.3.1 will improve the security of the operating system to a big extent. Now, for this feature to function, the BIOS of the computer should support it. By this boot system, you can prevent malware attacks on the PC. This setup is going to stop all the malwares that are designed to run when the operating system loads. Keep in mind that many malware programs are executed when the OS boots.

As you all know, Microsoft operating systems are widely used around the world and run on more than 90 percent of computers. Due to the large number of users of these operating systems, they have become the prime target of hackers and other malicious programs.
