Secure start-up systems are security features that prevent unauthorized software from controlling your computer during boot. These security tools are found on PCs and laptops that use UEFI technology (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface).
Encryption and Code Signing
Developing your website, mobile app or software securely is a key to keeping your digital startup safe from malicious hackers. It is important to make sure that the code used in your digital products has been thoroughly tested and checked.
Employee Agreements
As your business expands, it is essential that you create clear employment contracts and letter of offer to protect you from legal issues which can arise when hiring new employees. It is also important to ensure that your employees know what they are expected to do, especially when it concerns protecting the information and data of your company.
Disabling Secure Boot
Many devices, such as those running Windows 10, come with a built-in feature that allows you disable Secure Boot from the firmware configuration. This can be achieved using a shortcut or a firmware installation utility.
* Startup Security Utilities
If your Mac has an Apple T2 Security Chip installed, you can use the Startup Security Utility feature to ensure your Mac always boots from your designated boot disk, and virtual board room for business only from a legitimate and trusted operating system. This includes setting an encryption password to prevent others from starting your Mac up from removable or external media, as well as controlling whether you Mac can boot from a network volume.
