 | Microsoft Windows' popularity has always made it an attractive target for cybercriminals - and nothing will change with the arrival of Windows 10, says Gerry Egan, senior director of product management at Norton by Symantec "Although Windows 10 will bring with it new security features, many of them are either largely Enterprise-focused (eg, Device Guard) or require new hardware (eg, Windows Hello), which needs either a fingerprint reader or a more modern camera to work. Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet against all attacks and vulnerabilities," he cautioned. "Compounding this issue is the fact that Windows 10 is largely backwards compatible with prior releases of Windows. This not only allows users to leverage the enormous legacy of applications written for prior versions of Windows, but also means that many malicious applications will continue to run, too." | ||
