As part of this release, we are introducing protected core features to help protect hardware, firmware, and Windows Server operating system features from advanced security threats. The Secured-core server is based on technologies such as Windows Defender System Guard and Virtualization-based Security to minimize the risk of firmware vulnerabilities and advanced malware. The new version also provides protected connectivity that introduces several new features such as faster and more secure encrypted HTTPS connections, industry-standard SMB AES 256 encryption, and more.
Windows Server 2022 improves the management of hybrid servers with greatly improved VM management, an advanced event viewer, and many other new features in Windows Admin Center.
