This hardware root-of-trust raises the protection provided by capabilities like BitLocker, which uses TPM 2.0 and facilitates creating attestation-based workflows that can be incorporated into zero-trust security strategies.

TPM 2.0 provides a secure store for sensitive keys and data, such as measurements of the components loaded during boot. Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM 2.0) come standard with servers capable of using Secured-core servers. The Secured-core functionality spans the following areas: The protections enabled by a Secured-core server are targeted to create a secure platform for critical applications and data used on that server.

Secured-core servers use hardware, firmware, and operating system capabilities to the fullest extent to provide protection against current and future threats. Windows Server systems will have easy configuration experiences in the Windows Admin Center to enable the security features of Secured-core. When you buy hardware from an OEM for Secured-core server, you have assurance that the OEM has provided a set of hardware, firmware, and drivers that satisfy the Secured-core promise. It is built on three key pillars: simplified security, advanced protection, and preventative defense. Secured-core server provides protections that are useful against sophisticated attacks and can provide increased assurance when handling mission critical data in some of the most data sensitive industries. Advanced multi-layer security in Windows Server 2022 provides the comprehensive protection that servers need today. The new security capabilities in Windows Server 2022 combine other security capabilities in Windows Server across multiple areas to provide defense-in-depth protection against advanced threats. The “What’s new in Windows Server 2022” support page lists major changes in the new Server version.

Microsoft has not yet written an official blog to announce the news, but the image file has arrived early, which of course can be considered a release, so we don’t need to wait until the official release. Yes, Microsoft’s latest server operating system Windows Server 2022 LTSC RTM version has been released and is currently available on the MSDN subscription portal. The Windows Server operating system, which is usually released in September or October, is suddenly released in August.

Microsoft is always so “surprise” to do things.
