Title

Enhanced anti-spoofing for facial recognition must be enabled on Windows 11.

Control

If the following registry value does not exist or is not configured as specified, this is a finding: Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Path: \SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Biometrics\FacialFeatures\ (For GPO-managed systems) Or Registry Path: \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Policies\PassportForWork\Biometrics\ (For Intune-managed systems) Value Name: EnhancedAntiSpoofing Or Value Name: FacialFeaturesUseEnhancedAntiSpoofing (For Intune-managed systems) Value Type: REG_DWORD Value: 0x00000001 (1)

Discussion

Enhanced anti-spoofing provides additional protections when using facial recognition with devices that support it. Note: A different registry location is needed when systems are managed by Intune versus GPO.

Fix
