If you own an Windows 10 device, your operating system already comes with a range of security tools that can help secure your PC. Windows Security, formerly known as Microsoft Defender, provides antivirus and malware protection, a firewall and security settings to keep you secure.
Its real-time antimalware Core isolation, as well as hardware-level features (like Secure Boot and the security processor) can help you defend yourself from various types of threats, without slowing down your computer. Windows Security also lets you keep track of your device’s health and performance, manage your account protection, sign-in options for your device and more.
Even if you’ve got most secure passwords and other security measures in place, it’s still possible for malware to get into your system and cause problems. This is why it’s crucial to backup your data and keep your operating system in a state of flux. Windows 10 comes with a number of backup tools, including cloud storage services, which allow you to easily protect your files.
Windows Backup, File History or Recovery Drives can be used to regularly backup your system, and restore it in an emergency. You should also consider cloud-based solutions like OneDrive, Google Drive, as well as other tools for backup in the enterprise.
Limiting access to your device is vital. Make sure no user has Administrator rights. This will stop anyone using your computer from making huge changes that could cause data loss. You can do this either by creating individual Standard accounts or by limiting access to the device using Parental Controls.
