[1] Today, Microsoft unveiled new and updated Windows 11
security features that are set to arrive later this year, including improved protections against phishing and malware that aim to dramatically reduce work for security teams, a Microsoft security executive told VentureBeat.
When Microsoft rolled out Windows 11 last October, the company said a key driver for the new operating system was to enable more security features to be
turned on by default than had been in Windows 10.
For the annual feature update arriving in the second half of 2022, Microsoft aims to go much further with an array of new Windows 11 security capabilities — including many that will be on by default — that seek to reduce the funnel of issues for security teams "to a trickle," according to David Weston, vice president of OS and enterprise security at Microsoft.

off-the-shelf drones create digital twins, has raised $25 million in series B funding. The company focuses on software that improves site surveys, data analysis and report generation workflows.
CEO and cofounder Yariv Geller told VentureBeat he started the company with Tomer Daniel after seeing how the manufacturing industry used
digital twins to improve product designs. He realized there was a way that the combination of low-cost drones and better software could provide similar benefits at a macro level for cell towers, construction sites and any other sizeable physical asset.
A key differentiator of VHive's software compared to existing drone platforms is its
data and analytics pipeline for converting a monolithic 3D model of a cell tower or crane into a semantically labeled digital twin representing individual objects, defects and other relevant phenomena.
