Surface for Federal Security
This solution brief contains details on how Surface security goes down to the core of the architecture and how security and hardware threats are prevented from attacking the device.
What security features does Surface UEFI provide?
Surface Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) enhances device security by enabling Secure Boot, which ensures that only authorized firmware and software can run. It also allows IT to disable connected devices and hardware, preventing unauthorized access, and set UEFI passwords to restrict changes to important security settings.
How does Surface Enterprise Management Mode (SEMM) protect sensitive devices?
Surface Enterprise Management Mode (SEMM) provides additional protection for sensitive devices by enabling certificate-based security, allowing centralized management of hardware and firmware settings, and offering secure deactivation and physical disablement of device components. This ensures that devices in secure locations are well-protected from potential threats.
What support options are available for Federal agencies using Surface devices?
The Surface Government warranty through ITG offers several benefits for Federal employees, including options for 3-, 4-, or 5-year warranties, next business day support, on-site assistance, and options for keeping hard drives, including on-site shredding. Additionally, it provides 24/7 US-based concierge desk support and a portfolio of TAA-compliant devices.
