The article discusses three Windows vulnerabilities, including Secure Boot, Certificate-based Authentication changes, and a Windows Recovery Environment update, that demand significant time and resources from security teams but may not offer substantial protection. For example, managing Secure Boot has become a laborious task, risking making machines unbootable. Another vulnerability involves changes in certificate-based authentication that require close monitoring to avoid denial of authentication
Additionally, an update for Windows Recovery Environment in January 2024 aimed to address a BitLocker encryption bypass security risk but faced challenges on computers with small recovery partitions. The article suggests organizations evaluate the actual risk these vulnerabilities pose and whether they are worth patching, as dealing with them may divert resources from more impactful security measures. ```https://www.csoonline.com/article/2096872/3-windows-vulnerabilities-that-patching-may-be-a-waste-of-time-or-create-more-risk.html
