For most of us, our laptops or desktops are where we store valuable information – whether for work or personal. This is simply one of the reasons why we need to ensure our computers are secure.
Are you using Microsoft Office 365? Try these 5 tips to keep your information safe:
1. Protect your PC with regular security scans
To help protect your PC from security threats, select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security. Select Virus & threat protection, and then select Quick scan to scan your PC and find out if anything needs your attention.
2. Sign in with a smile using Windows Hello
You can unlock your computer with your face. Select Start > Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options. You’ll see a Windows Hello Face option if your PC supports it. Set it up to sign in with a glance.
