Same access as previously.It now will allow you to manage all the security needs like previously but also include windows defender antivirus & windows defender firewall.Note that with this updated setup the antivirus products are required and must operate as a secured process to the register.Fluorescent design system will contain elements within it that we have a familiarity with. See example figure 43 down below. Figure SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 43 Resource link: The ability to add & define specific rules within the WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) in the windows defender firewall is now possible as it would be with any other process contained within windows.In this update we have new adjustments for group policies and MDM settings for Microsoft edge.Windows defender credential guard provides support within the windows operating system by default on all devices that have the windows 10 operating system on it. Note previously this was a feature was optional & not available by default.If you have window 10 pro the S mode feature on it will require the usage of a network connection in order to setup a new device within the network. Many new features have been added to the windows defender ATP setup in this update. They are:Threat analytics which is a contemplation of interactive reports provided by windows ATP research team as new security threat emerge, but outbreaks are identified once they start happening. Custom detection which allows the user to generate queries that can monitor any events that have any specific behaviors that are suspicious & threats that are emerging but possess a threat to your computer or network. Managed security service provider (MSSP) support which provides us with scenario-based support by means of MSSP integration. Integration of the Azure security center that provides comprehensive server protection solutions to help keep servers secured. Integration of the Microsoft cloud app security that allows for direct visibility within the cloud application usage that also allows for the usage of cloud services that are not supported by all windows defender ATP monitored devices. The windows server onboard 2019 is now supported by the upgrade.Note that the previous editions of the onboard windows can support other windows supported devices and can forward sensory data to the windows ATP sensors.For those organizations that have shared devices operational within the workplace can know benefit from the faster sign-in app in this update to other devices that are windows 10 shared devices. How does one accomplish this?First, you must have a device that setup for sharing.Second, policies must be configured for CSP, authentication, but the enable fast sign in polices must be activated in order to utilize this particular app.Third, after everything has been set up & gone through the required approval processes you should be able to log in using your account.See example in figure 44.

Figure SEQ Figure \* ARABIC 45 Resource link: Summary Discussion:When we look at these three latest updates how would they be beneficial for students & businesses in the Milwaukee area? What we look at the updates 1709, 1803, & 1809 a lot of the security features would provide both the students & businesses a tremendous amount of benefits. Like for example the windows defender application, exploit, and device guard features are found on the home, as well as in the windows 10 & enterprise version of the operating system. For students these latest updated provided in the 1709, 1803, & 1809 provide a great deal of security if you are employing windows 10 home or even the windows 10 pro operating system. The added advantage if using the windows 10 pro model is that you get the benefit of bit locker, which you will have in the home edition of windows 10. Bit locker would a great way to secure a mobile computing device or laptop if you are student & your body of work is contained within it. The device feature in these latest updates is available for the home edition, if you are student this is a great way to keep your device in excellent shape. The updates to the accessibility & privacy features contained within the windows 1803 update would most certainly be very beneficial to student as well. It is another way to help keep you device secured from unwanted parties & prevent people from stealing the work you do for your classes or studies. Your phone app contained in update 1809 is a wonderful feature for students because if you are taking pictures for a project or anything related to your course work this can be bonus in that you can send pictures you take with your android phone device & forward it to your computer device to complete assignments. I noticed that in the home edition of windows 10 there is a way to link your phone to the device you own. In general when you look at all the features that I have discussed in the previous paragraphs they can be beneficial to a student in one way or another, but for a student to get any benefit of those features they would have to at upgrade their operating system at the minimum to a windows 10 pro to get any real true benefit from these upgrades. Personally, I would recommend that students upgrade their operating system to a windows 10 pro because it provides more features & services that would be much more beneficial in doing certain things. The benefits a business in Milwaukee would get from these three updates are very huge & in my opinion would provide a lot of benefit to them in the end. The security updates for those of whom operate within the windows 10 or windows 10 enterprise operating system would have a tremendous impact. Note that in the areas of analytics, deployments, and other system management tools provided within these updates will ensure a much smoother operation for a company. The enhanced security features within the last three updates allow for IT staff of whom are administrators to better secure their companies network & computer infrastructure of which today is always under a state of constant attack from hackers. They key in general is to stay ahead of the attackers. I feel these security updates that are available to the windows 10 pro & enterprise users would provide a great level of protection & Microsoft staff does an excellent job of staying ahead in the game. The analytical features provided in the last three updates like device health, compliance, and readiness will help keep the devices within the company’s network functioning at there finest. It tells a company if there are any issues that might come up if there are any compatibility problems with applications, drivers, and if security status would change for any reason. In general, the analytical tools will help keep the devices operating within the network staying healthy. Some of the additional administrative tools that would be beneficial to a local business are in the configuration area where companies have the ability to adjust there configuration settings, when comes to deployment of the operating system on devices operating within the companies network the autopilot feature will make easier for employees to log in & do their jobs much more easily, and the management of remote desktop access controlling who would have access to the companies network. Note another big security bonus for companies are in the area of bit locker which in my opinion is an excellent way to keep unauthorized users out of the network that should not have access to the network. In general, there are a lot of benefits that students & businesses in the Milwaukee area would get by having these updates in their windows 10 operating system, whether you are in the home, pro, or enterprise editions. If you want to additional information on windows 10 operating system updates & windows 10 operating system in general, you can go to for additional technical information.
