What’s more, a few simple clicks in Windows Admin Center can enable connectivity to Azure Arc.

Through Azure Arc, customers can easily employ Azure management capabilities such as Azure Policy, Azure Monitor, and Azure Defender for those servers. Azure Arc and Storage Migration Service are two key hybrid capabilities that work best with Windows Server 2022.Īzure Arc enables customers to manage, secure, and govern Windows Server on-premises, at the edge, or in multi-cloud environments from a single control plane in Azure. We are bringing new capabilities that enable customers to take advantage of cloud innovation with their on-premises investments. Customers can also further secure server communications with industry-standard AES-256 encryption, which now supports server message block (SMB) protocol and better controls. Windows Server 2022 improves connection security with faster and more secure encrypted hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) and transport layer security (TLS) 1.3 enabled by default. Secured connectivity adds an additional layer of security during transport for advanced protection. Credential Guard provides preventative defense for sensitive assets like credentials, and HVCI applies hardware-rooted security to prevent advanced malware from tampering with the system.

Secured-core server also includes virtualization-based security (VBS) features like Credential Guard and Hypervisor-protected code integrity (HVCI). It uses the Trusted Platform Module 2.0 and System Guard to boot up Windows Server securely and minimize risk from firmware vulnerabilities. Secured-core server brings powerful threat protection together to provide multi-layer security across hardware, firmware, and the operating system. Windows Server 2022 includes new security capabilities like secured-core server and secure connectivity. With a growing number of cyber-security threats and the impact of incidents escalating quickly, security is a top priority for our customers. A big thank you to all the members of the Windows Server community and our customers and partners for your support and feedback that inspired the innovation we built into this new release. Over the years, companies like Forever 21 and Sentara Healthcare have relied on Windows Server to run their business-critical workloads.
