Microsoft Surface integrates new security solutions: customizing hardware firmware and enabling Win11 security protection

CTOnews.com October 26, Microsoft today issued a press release announcing the integration of "Secured core PCs" security solutions for all new Surface products.

The solution integrates layered hardware, firmware and software defense measures to protect Surface users from complex network threats.

Microsoft says Surface devices no longer rely on third-party components and have customized firmware and software to better control security updates and quickly resolve any vulnerabilities. The company stresses that unified control from chips to software can deliver key security patches faster.

Part of the press release translated by CTOnews.com is as follows:

From the moment the user presses the Surface boot button, the custom firmware is automatically launched to ensure that everything inside is safe and verified. This process ensures that your computer starts safely. It also checks important components such as cameras, microphones and other connectors to make sure they work safely.

In addition to customized firmware, Microsoft also provides excellent Win11 security protection for Surface products. Security tools such as Windows Hello, malware protection and firewall are enabled by default to reduce the frequency of network attacks.

Microsoft said:

The interaction between Surface hardware and Windows 11 provides enhanced protection for your biometric credentials while enabling a seamless Windows Hello facial login experience. These enhanced protections use specialized hardware and software components to isolate and protect biometric credentials and provide protection against advanced threats to ensure your security and efficiency.
