Windows 10

Microsoft has been closely watching the onslaught of this new ransomware epidemic and added a slew of new features to the second major update of Windows 10 which is called "Creators Update" — Win 10 CU for short — which has been rolling out for a few weeks, consumers first.

Presenting new anti-ransomware protection features added in Win 10 CU, Robert Lefferts, Director of Program Management, Windows Enterprise and Security, said that no Windows 10 customer was affected by the recent WannaCry ransomware outbreak that took place in mid-May and no currently known ransomware strain can infect Windows 10.

From a security perspective, CU is a massive improvement.

The new security features include the following list, apart from a host of non-security-related additions like a 3D version of MS Paint. :-)

Click-to-run for Adobe Flash in Edge — Prevents ransomware and other malware from landing on Windows 10 PCs via exploits kits and drive-by downloads.
Instant cloud protection via Windows Defender — According to Microsoft, starting with CU, Windows Defender AV can suspend a suspicious file from running and sync with the cloud protection service to further inspect the file.
Fast remediation mechanism at detection — Microsoft says it has made great strides to "remediate ransomware infection and limit ransomware activity from minutes to seconds, reducing its damage from hundreds of encrypted files to a few." Microsoft credits this to Windows Defender AV’s behavioral engine, which can aggregate malware behavior across processes and stages.
Improved detection for script-based attacks — Microsoft says its Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) was modified to intervene during the strategic execution points of JS or VBS script runtimes, two infection vectors often used by ransomware.
Wow64 compatibility scanning — In CU, Windows Defender AV added a process-scanning feature that uses the Wow64 compatibility layer, enabling it to better inspect system interactions of 32-bit applications running on 64-bit operating systems.
Process tree visualizations — Feature added to Windows Defender ATP, the commercial version of Windows Defender.
Artifact searching capabilities — Feature added to Windows Defender ATP.
Machine isolation and quarantine — feature added to Windows Defender ATP.
Windows Edge browser — better protection against remote code execution attacks.

Overall, your average user will probably not notice the difference.

Overall, it's a good update, but it stands out for its incremental tweaks and behind-the-scenes improvements to matters such as security, updates, and privacy, rather than for spectacular new features.

Obviously, you will not be able to roll this out immediately in your organization, despite the CU security improvements. Implementing CU is likely not a priority if you have just started to deploy Windows 10, and you might jump straight to the next major update, codenamed Redstone 3 which is due later this year.

The update is available to MSDN/TechNet subscribers running the Enterprise, Education, and IoT Core editions. Organizations that have Windows via the Volume License Service Center have been able to get the update since May 1st.

I've had some issues with a configuration that's given me trouble.

The solution is very stable. there aren't issues with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I'm certified with the product. The way we are using and we are selling it, I find that it's a good product.

I'm using both Windows 11 and 10 right now and I am very happy with the Microsoft products. They have been great.

I'd advise others not to hesitate if they are considering using it. It's a very strong solution. If you have a good PC or laptop, it will work well.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.
