Windows 10 has been announced by the Microsoft company a radical change that targets hundreds of millions of PCs from all over the world, this being extremely important and prepared to help us to a great extent. Windows 10 is going to have something called Kernel Data Protection implemented, this new functionality being thought to radically improve the way in which the data of users who use the operating system are now protected.
Windows 10 has this change made to allow driver developers, and not only, to protect the kernel from possible attacks by marking certain parts of it as read-only. This means that they can only be read by programs, not modified, and implicitly this brings more security for Windows 10 because the kernel is the central component of the operating system that controls almost everything we use in our PCs.
Windows 10: MILLIONS of PCs Targeted by RADICAL Change
Windows 10 had this method of securing the operating system presented quite some time ago by those from Microsoft, but only now it seems that it would be ready to be offered on a large scale. The technology was initially implemented for certain types of PCs, which have so-called "secure" processors, that is, some models of laptops designed for the business environment, and maximum data security, but all those with Windows 10 will have the technology.
“Kernel Data Protection (KDP) is a new technology that prevents data corruption attacks by protecting parts of the Windows kernel and drivers through virtualization-based security (VBS). KDP is a set of APIs that provide the ability to mark a portion of kernel memory as read-only, preventing attackers from ever modifying the protected memory.”
Windows 10 is developing the transition of technology to ordinary users, but no one knows at the moment when this very useful change for people all over the world should arrive. We may have to wait longer than we would have liked to benefit from this very big change, but everything depends on what Microsoft wants to do at the moment for its users around the globe.
Windows 10 it won't have this major change offered in the big update in the fall, otherwise it would have already been in testing with regular users, so it's possible we won't see it until 2021.
