Author: Mayon

We basically been identified, Surface is the most practical office flat, its mouse and keyboard operation, File Explorer, Office, etc. The feature makes it possible to actually build a complete mobile workbench. But the problem has followed, since it is used for office equipment, the security of the system is especially important. This article will give you some advice and help on Surface security, and no longer worry about the security of files on the tablet.

Triple-entry insurance

There is a saying in Chinese medicine called “Drug from the mouth”, which emphasizes the importance of the entrance in relation to the safety of an organism. The same is true for the operating system. Therefore, the first step to protect the security of the Surface is on the system login. Imagine if the system can not log in, who can steal the files inside?

There are at least three login lock methods in the Surface, namely password, PIN code and image unlocking. Let's introduce them one by one.

There is no need to say more about passwords. Many people are used to setting passwords when logging in to the system. However, it should be said that in Surface we can use the Microsoft account password to log in to the system.
Create Login Password

In addition to the normal password, we can also set the PIN unlock and picture lock screen for Surface. We can call up the Charm column on the right, then select “Set" and click “change computer settings" in the "user"; we will find the password to create a PIN and create a picture.
Setting the PIN Code

The PIN code requires multiple steps to enter the PIN code before entering the system. The picture password is required to slide the correct path on the picture to unlock the screen login system.
Using picture passwords

A Surface with a three-layer password protection like this would like to be invaded from the outside, which is almost impossible. At this point, the security of the Surface is greatly protected. We kept the entrance, and we continued to look down.

Windows Defender and Updates

Although Surface sets a layered level on the portal to prevent malicious access to the system, it is often because of malware or viruses. You are not careful when using it yourself, so the anti-virus function of the system itself is very important.

At present, Surface can't install third-party traditional anti-virus software, but this does not mean that the system is "streaking". Windows Defender, Microsoft's own anti-virus program, comes with Windows RT running on Surface.
Windows Defender

First we found the “Operation Center” in the Control Panel, and then under “Security”, check if the system is under Windows Defender protection. In general, this anti-virus program is automatically opened, but if it is not running, we can find it in the “All Apps” on the start screen and start it manually.
Check if the computer is in protection

It is important to note that as an anti-virus software, we also need to keep an eye on whether it is updated to the latest version and virus database. Keeping updates is very important work.
Keeping Virus Database Updates

At the same time, every time Microsoft updates system patches for Windows, it is very important to fix some serious security vulnerabilities and make computers more secure.

Also in the "Operation Center", below the left sidebar we can see the "Windows Update" option, enter the "Windows Update" interface and we can check Are there any updates and fixes?
Timed System Update

Of course, we recommend changing the setting to “Automatically install updates” so that when Microsoft releases the system update, we will be able to install the latest security patches in the first place, to the maximum extent. The ground is to ensure the security of the Surface system.

Third-party security assistant

On a normal computer, we are used to management software such as QQ computer housekeeper to maintain the normal operation of the system, but in What do we use in the tablet? In fact, there are a lot of security software available in the Surface app store, such as this Tencent tablet housekeeper.
