Microsoft Announces Windows 11 Baseline Security Mode to Limit Unsigned Apps and Drivers

Microsoft is enhancing the security framework of Windows 11 by introducing a Baseline Security Mode aimed at restricting the execution of unsigned applications and drivers. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to combat increasing cybersecurity threats, ensuring that only applications and drivers with proper digital signatures can operate on the operating system. Users will have the option to adjust these settings manually, but the default configuration will prioritize security. This move underlines Microsoft's commitment to creating a safer computing environment for users, as malware and other security vulnerabilities continue to pose significant risks to personal and organizational data across the globe.
