Attackers are constantly evolving, becoming increasingly sophisticated and destructive—the median time for an attacker to access your private data if you fall victim to a phishing email is 1 hour, 12 minutes.1 Microsoft tracks more than 35 ransomware families and more than 250 unique nation-state attackers, cybercriminals, and other actors. We have unparalleled threat intelligence—processing more than 43 trillion signals per day, including 2.5 billion daily endpoint queries and 921 password attacks blocked every second. We work alongside more than 15,000 partners in our security ecosystem and we have more than 8,500 engineers, researchers, data scientists, cybersecurity experts, threat hunters, geopolitical analysts, investigators, and frontline responders across 77 countries. We combine human and machine intelligence with built-in AI to continuously learn from the attack landscape, and we have a dedicated team, the Microsoft Offensive Research and Security Engineering (MORSE), that works to stop threats before they reach your device.2 All of this goes into the design process to deliver a more secure Windows with every release.

“Because Microsoft designed the security model of Windows 11 from the ground up to assume that some component has already been compromised, threat actors will find it orders of magnitude more difficult to remain undetected [and persist] in the environment than in traditional architectures.”
