Microsoft announced the introduction of Secure Core PC, which is a PC device that integrates hardware, firmware, and software in such a way that strengthens security and protection overall, right from the ground up, as the Redmond-based tech giant states in its latest blog post.

The company names the Surface laptops and devices (including those announced at the recent Microsoft Surface Event) as being some of the examples of the Secured core PCs. According to Microsoft, they are secured by default and will remain so, from the time they leave the factory, until the end.

Microsoft will rewrite the firmware of these Secure Core PCs using RUST, which in Microsoft’s own words, is a memory-safe programming language focusing on performance, safety, and the ability to run multiple tasks simultaneously.

RUST is also capable of reducing threats and cyberattacks by 70%, according to a study conducted by the company, and it is already employed, and integrated into Azure and Windows Insider builds.

When it comes to sensitive information, Surface laptops will be managed at a hardware-level, and admins will be able to easily control and disable peripherals, such as cameras, Bluetooth, and others, through Microsoft Intune or Surface Tools.
