Microsoft Lauds Windows 10 Features for Healthcare; Security Worries Remain
Microsoft in a blog post is highlighting the benefits of Windows 10 for healthcare organizations, particularly increased security capabilities. There are enhancements, but there also may be vulnerabilities within them. The company calls Windows 10 the most secure Windows system ever. New features include replacing passwords with biometric or hardware-based multi-factor credentials, containing login credentials in the hardware and allowing devices to run trusted software only, which can block attacks.
“Still, some very targeted security issues remain, according to third-party technology companies that have studied Windows 10,” reports Information Management magazine. For instance, the magazine notes, “WinMagic, which focuses on encryption, says Microsoft’s new authentication features don’t address FDE security and compliance issues if the BitLocker-enabled drives are decrypted before both authentication factors are cleared. Full disk encryption is most effective (and compliant) if authentication is performed first and then data is decrypted. Pre-boot authentication, as it’s called, is necessary so that the data is not decrypted or unlocked prematurely.”
