What is micro-virtualization? What benefits can Windows 10 get from it?

According to the Forbes online version, computer security company Bromium has reached a cooperation agreement with Microsoft to help Microsoft build a more secure Windows 10 with Micro-Virtualization. Just as you understand what virtualization is, micro-virtualization is rapidly emerging. In fact, micro-virtualization is not difficult to understand, and it can do very interesting things for users (and developers) of Microsoft Windows (or other operating systems).

Bromium is working with Microsoft to create and deliver the so-called "safest terminal on the market" for the upcoming Windows 10 operating system. Bromium will use its micro-virtualization technology to achieve this.

Note: Only recently in 2012, we also referred to Bromium as a computer security startup, and today we have called it “the isolation expert for data breach threats” – among them There may be some exaggerated elements, but the market is growing at a very fast rate.

What is micro-virtualization?

Just as virtualization exists to separate the fields of memory, processing power, network control and other computing resources (and create virtual partitions between domains), we can see micro-virtualization. In order to extract the ” application (and its corresponding sub-process) from the hardware running. This means that these applications can run in isolated environments and security will increase significantly.

Micro-virtualization is driven by Bromisium's proprietary patented Microvisor (micro+ hypervisor). Bromium's technology protects terminals from harm by isolating and eliminating external network attacks, and is considered a complement to Microsoft's product security.

For developers, this technology proposition may be a more coded, categorized, groupable, and micro-virtualized code base. This does not pose any problems for the user. It may be more complicated from a layout and management perspective. But at the same time, in this more fragmented world, it will bring more influence.

Bromium's Protection Module on Windows 10

Customers tell us that a significant increase in security performance is a decisive requirement and the main reason why customers will decide to adopt Windows 10 as soon as possible. One. ”Jim • Jim Alkove said. He is a partner director of corporate and security project management and is responsible for Microsoft's Windows and device groups. “We are all excited about Bromium's complement to Windows 10 security capabilities, where micro-virtualization solutions can help customers further eliminate other attacks. & rdquo;

Advantages of Windows 10

Bromium's technology also extends Microsoft security solutions, including system-centric terminal protection. Microsoft Windows 10 is also using CPU virtualization capabilities to harden the terminal. Bromium-protected terminals are self-protecting and self-healing.

Bromium CEO Ian & Bull; Ian Pratt boldly predicted that the collaboration with Microsoft validated the trend of micro-virtualization as the future of computer security.

Pilat mentioned: "We ensure that Bromium's security products are compatible and complementary to Microsoft's security efforts on Windows. By real-time design and delivery to defeat threats, Microsoft and Bromium can make Windows terminals stand out. We are honored to be able to work closely with Microsoft to help companies end their data breaches. ”

In case the user network opens any suspicious attachments, files or removable spaces, the micro-virtualization hardware will isolate the user tasks. This can prevent malware from damaging the terminal, stealing valuable data, and breaking through the corporate network.

Suppliers may say that this means that our technology is a step up, so there is no need to worry about cybersecurity as usual. Of course, this is not true. We always need to worry about the emergence of various unknown events in data security. But it is undeniable that if micro-virtualization can continue its intelligent management, the development will be very positive.
