The latest Magento version offers 370+ new fixes to the core code, solutions to 290 GitHub issues, and 33 security enhancements.

As issues with the Composer dependencies are very common to happen, Magento 2.4.3 comes with an all-new verification routine via the latest Composer plugin. The plugin will perform the integrity checks at the time of Composer installations.
