AI-suggested

1. Upgrade all affected systems from Windows 10 Version 1507 to the latest supported Windows 10 or Windows 11 versions where this vulnerability is patched. 2. Enforce strict physical security measures such as secure storage, device access controls, and tamper-evident seals to prevent unauthorized physical access to devices. 3. Implement full disk encryption solutions that are verified to be free from this vulnerability or use hardware-based encryption modules (e.g., TPM) with updated firmware. 4. Regularly audit and monitor device access logs and physical security controls to detect unauthorized attempts. 5. Educate employees on the risks of device theft or loss and enforce policies for reporting and responding to such incidents. 6. Consider disabling BitLocker on legacy systems if upgrading is not immediately possible and use alternative encryption or data protection methods. 7. Maintain an inventory of devices running the vulnerable Windows version to prioritize remediation efforts. 8. Follow Microsoft security advisories closely for the release of patches or workarounds related to this CVE.
