Windows 7 or Windows 10? A new research που διεξήχθη από την RiskBased Security και αναλύει τα τρωτά σημεία που παρατηρήθηκαν στο 2016 αποκαλύπτει ότι το περασμένο έτος, η Microsoft fixed a larger number of gaps security compared to 2015. These bugs affected Internet Explorer, Edge and of course the Windows 10 operating system.
Specifically, the study shows that last year Microsoft corrected 729 as a total of vulnerabilities in its software, while 2015 repaired 703. This, of course, is more alarming, is that this number is almost double the number of vulnerabilities of 2014 when Microsoft found and fixed 383 security blanks.
The survey also shows that Internet Explorer is still the most vulnerable Microsoft application. An all-time chart shows that the Browser of the company to date had 1.261 imperfections.
Surprisingly, Windows 10, which is crafted as the safest operating system of the company, was first in the 705 vulnerability debugging order. Windows 10 was released in July of 2015 and 2016 closed a year in the market.
Windows Server 2012 ranks third with 660 vulnerabilities, while Windows 7 is the fourth-largest 647 bug. Windows Vista is in fifth place with 621 security gaps being repaired.
Please note that Microsoft has stated that the upcoming builds of Windows 10 will be able to protect users from zero-day even if no patch is available. Recently, the company revealed that the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, released in August of 2016, has managed to deal with attacks aimed at exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities in the operating system. So the operating users were safe before Microsoft released a fix.
In addition, Microsoft has already begun the degradation of Windows 7, explaining that it is less secure than Windows 10, indicating that 10 security features have everything missing for obvious technical limitations of its predecessors.
_______________________
To make a little bit of the devil's advocate, Microsoft once again promises without a hint and while the numbers say others. Of course, she tries with all these promises to promote her new product, and we have seen that she often uses totally unorthodox methods.
However, what can not define any research, no provision and no promise is the reaction of the opposite side. Microsoft may promise safer upcoming releases, but hackers asked them?
