Microsoft has announced that the company will be hosting the Windows Endpoint Security Ecosystem seminar at its headquarters in Redmond on September 10th. The event will focus on discussing endpoint security measures. According to high-ranking sources at Microsoft as reported by CNBC, CrowdStrike and several other cybersecurity firms will be attending the meeting. The main discussion will revolve around preventing Windows Blue Screen incidents that have global repercussions.
One proposal suggests restricting applications to only function within the Windows operating system workspace without access to kernel-level privileges. This limitation was a key factor in the prolonged resolution of the Windows Blue Screen incident by CrowdStrike. However, these programs require kernel-level access to prevent shutdown incidents, highlighting a dilemma. This proposal mirrors the current macOS model, where developers are unable to directly access kernel controls.
Reports indicate that Microsoft will address the implementation of eBPF, a technology supported by the company, to monitor potential system disruptions caused by applications.
TLDR: Microsoft will host a seminar on Windows Endpoint Security with cybersecurity firms to discuss preventing global incidents and will explore using eBPF for system monitoring.
