There are more dangers than ever for your computer lurking in the vastness of the Internet. But it is not only on the World Wide Web that you are exposed to fraudsters and thieves who want to obtain valuable data. Data theft and unwanted access by third parties also occur locally time and again. Windows 10 IoT offers its users completely new and improved options for optimally protecting their operating system from switch-on to switch-off. You can find out which functions are available to you and what exactly they mean in our brief overview below.
Specify which peripheral devices, such as USB sticks or external hard drives, are considered trustworthy and ensure that only these are recognized by the PC.
Only allows trusted applications to run thanks to Advanced Threat Resistance
Ensures that only certified files are loaded during the boot process and that an operating system with a stored security certificate is started
Mainly describes the function of tailoring your Windows operating system to your needs through specific restrictions (see also our article on customizing). At the same time, this also means an increased security factor for your operating system. For example, Advanced Lockdown offers you the option of only allowing certain programs to perform operations on your computer. Conversely, this means that unwanted malware or software is not given the opportunity to nest in your PC in the first place.
The lockdown also includes the following security functions:
Indispensable when it comes to write protection of hard disks. This means that the Unified Write Filter does not allow any changes to the hard disk and the files and programs stored there. Changes are only stored temporarily in the RAM memory. After restarting the operating system, everything is back to normal.
Deny USB and other peripheral devices access to your computer
A TPM is a chip integrated into many systems that makes it possible to encrypt the hard disk. The TPM also makes it possible to identify any hardware in the system. This also enables the chip to detect changes in the system.
Encryption of your drives/hard disks. Also enables the secure deletion of data. This makes it much more difficult to recover deleted data (useful, for example, when discarding old computers).
Protects against data loss caused by leaks in the system (e.g. clouds, emails, social media)
Login via fingerprint, face or iris recognition
Protects your access data from malware and the like
