Recently, Microsoft has been taking many steps to improve the security of Windows and other Microsoft products as a whole. For example, the tech giant recently announced a big change to Entra ID authentication with default passkeys. Plus, it is also introducing AI-enhanced Windows security updates as it highlighted the new update strategy.
Following that, Microsoft has announced that it is preparing to strengthen the security of Windows volume activation too by introducing a new hardware-backed trust model for its Key Management Service (KMS). The enhancement, called KMS Hardware-Secured, will use
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)-based attestation to verify that KMS hosts are running on trusted hardware before they can activate Windows devices.
