Windows 11 Pro includes a comprehensive suite of cybersecurity features that enhance protection against vulnerabilities such as lost devices, stolen passwords, risky downloads, and phishing attempts. Key features include:
- BitLocker: Encrypts drive contents to secure sensitive information on laptops, particularly useful for mobile devices.
- Windows Hello for Business: Replaces traditional passwords with a device-bound PIN or biometric verification, reducing the risk of credential theft.
- Smart App Control: Prevents malicious software from executing by evaluating applications before they run, effective against modern threats.
- Windows Sandbox: Allows users to run potentially risky software in a secure, isolated environment that resets upon closure.
- Windows Firewall: Regulates network traffic to and from the PC, filtering based on application, port, protocol, and network type, and helps manage application interactions with the network.
