Source: Microsoft outs details, system requirements of Windows 11's new VBS Enclave security feature - NeowinWhen Microsoft released Windows 11, VBS or Virtualization-based Security was a major talking point about it. While the feature itself was not new, it was enabled by default on Windows 11 to provide an additional layer of protection. When Windows 11 was made generally available, Microsoft explained in some detail why VBS, alongside TPM version 2.0, which was another key security feature and a requirement for the OS, was so important.
Today, in a Tech Community blog post, the company has published details on a new feature based on VBS called VBS Enclaves which is a Trust Execution Environment (TEE) meant to make third-party apps secure using the power of isolated user mode Virtual Trust Levels (VTLs). VBS enclaves are essentially a type of DLL file which means Windows can use them across various programs.
