Secure start-up systems are security features that prevent unauthorized software from controlling your computer during boot. These security programs are included in most modern PCs or laptops.
Encryption & Code Signing
Developing your website or mobile app securely is the key to protecting your digital start-up from malicious hackers. This means that the code which is used to create your products must be thoroughly tested and developed.
Employee Agreements
As your company grows, you should develop clear employment agreements and offer letters in order to protect yourself from any legal issues that could arise when you hire a new employee. It’s also essential to make sure that all of your employees understand what is expected of them, especially when it comes to protecting your company’s information and data.
Disabling Secure Boot
Many devices (including those that run Windows 10) have a built in system that allows the firmware configuration to disable Secure Boot. This can be done with a hotkey, or by using a firmware configuration utility.
* Startup Security Utilities
If your Mac comes with an Apple T2 Security Chip (or similar), you can make use of a feature within Startup Security Utility that will ensure your Mac starts from the designated startup disk and always from an operating system that is trusted. This includes setting a password for the firmware to prevent anyone from starting up your Mac from removable media or external devices, and controlling if your Mac can boot off network volumes.
