Windows Firewall: new and upcoming features for 2023

Microsoft Pluton is a security processor that is built directly into the CPU and provides the functionality of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). It is designed to securely store sensitive information on Windows PCs and laptops, making it harder for attackers to extract sensitive data. Pluton works with existing TPM specifications and APIs, but solves the weakness of TPM by removing the need for “outside” communication between a TPM and the CPU. This makes it harder to extract sensitive information even if the attackers have physical possession of a device. In contrast, Apple’s T2 chip is a security chip that is built into Apple’s Mac computers. It provides a secure boot process, encrypted storage, and secure enclave functionality. The T2 chip is designed to protect the user’s data from unauthorized access and tampering. It also provides hardware support for features such as Touch ID and Apple Pay. In terms of functionality, both Microsoft Pluton and Apple’s T2 chip provide similar security features such as secure boot, encrypted storage, and secure enclave functionality. However, Pluton is built directly into the CPU, while T2 is a separate chip.
