You'll see the difference in the new "Guards," Device Guard and Credential Guard. You'll know if your computer's hardware is up–to–date enough to use the new tools, and you'll find get a quick summary of the new security tools added by Windows 8/8.1 that you probably heard of. Attend this talk and be the first person on your block to get VSM running.

You will learn:

  • About the four new "trustlets:" Credential Guard, Device Guard, Fabric Guard, and Hyper–V TPM support
