Here's what's covered:
0:00 - Introductions
3:25 - What's the difference between Windows Hello and Windows Hello ESS?
6:35 - Is Win32 app isolation integrated with Visual Studio?
20:10 - We remove Quick Assist from our devices because there are no policies that provide us with security and control over who can send or receive requests. Will there be any policies coming for Enterprises to control Quick Assist?
25:50 - (Referring to pluton for servers) topic Is this something we should be looking at for our on-prem 2022 servers?
26:50 - What is the roadmap for Defender and ARM and feature parity with x64 processors?
27:40 - I heard Microsoft is introducing new configurations in Windows Firewall. Can you talk about enhanced management and capabilities for the built-in Windows Firewall to help IT provide better overall protection?
29:40 - How about Microsoft Recall? We have Citrix Farm and we offer SSH/RDP access for Windows clients which are not under our control. And we don't like the idea that Windows is automating in taking screenshots even if they are stored locally (for now). From which apps will be screenshots taken? Only Microsoft owned apps or anyone?
32:40 - When will Config Refresh be GA?
39:35 - Is the Secure Future Initiative different than Trustworthy Computing - or just an evolution?
47:10 - How is PDE different than BitLocker? Where should it be used?
