Just going to preface this by saying I’m not a security expert.
Phones have 2 encryptions states BFU (Before First Unlock) and AFU (After First Unlock). Self-explantory I think; when you login to your phone after putting in your password the first time, your phone will go into AFU state.
In BFU, almost everything is encrypted. In AFU if you dump the same data you will basically get a lot more information because some of the data is now decrypted. That’s basically why you can access notifications, change settings around from your lock screen when your phone has been unlocked once but not the first time after reboot.
As for why PIN – I’m not American but apparently in US you can be compelled by law to unlock your phone via fingerprint but law enforcement cannot force you to enter a PIN. More contributing factors: theoretically you can spoof biometrics more easily (I mean, people leave fingerprints everywhere), and one last thing is as a convenience factor it will help you to not forget your PIN (also why your phone will ask to re-enter your PIN every now and then)
The pin part is for security, your device is encrypted on first boot until you put in your pin. If someone attempts to get in your phone even via connecting your phone to a PC they can’t because your phone is encrypted.
baatliwala@lemmy.worldOPto Technology@lemmy.ml•Microsoft is moving antivirus providers out of the Windows kernel11·8 days agoTbh out of the big corpos MS has been one of the least anti-competitive in the past 10-15 years. They like to push their own services with ads within their own services yes but that’s not really anti competitive in the truest sense, every company on earth does that.
The biggest one I can think of recently is them having lower rates for Windows Server on Azure vs other clouds. Compare that with companies like Apple, Google who actively attempt to put down other services.
IMO Nadella has been pretty decent in handling that part of MS. Though I don’t really have an answer to your Defender question lol.
