Endpoint Security Begins with Hardware

With endpoint devices increasingly targeted by cyber threats, collaboration between IT and security teams is intensifying to proactively identify vulnerabilities. This heightened emphasis on security is reshaping technology purchases and compelling security teams to adopt new approaches.
Contemporary Windows-based devices, like Microsoft Surface, are equipped with advanced hardware and firmware dedicated to securing both the device and its software. An effective security strategy capitalises on these features, granting administrators control over hardware settings at the deepest level without physical access to the device.

Authentication Factors

There are three types of authentication factors typically classified as follows:

Something
you know

Usually a password.​

Something
you have

Can be a digital certificate, smart card, or some other hardware token

Something
you are

A biometric, generally a fingerprint or facial recognition.​Biometrics are a strong form of authentication. You may forget a password or lose a hardware token, but you always have your face with you. ​
