Why is/will Secure Boot be required?

Secure Boot is a robust security feature built into Windows that plays a crucial role in protecting your system during the startup process. It acts as a powerful safeguard against tampering and unauthorized software execution. In most modern PCs, Secure Boot is enabled by default, while on other PCs, it can be easily activated by adjusting a single setting in the BIOS.

At Esportal, we place great importance on maintaining the integrity of the competitive environment. We are committed to providing a cheat-free platform for all users. By leveraging the inherent security measures provided by Windows, such as Secure Boot, we aim to fortify the platform's security and ensure fair gameplay.

Enabling Secure Boot is essential as it prevents malicious software and cheats from being loaded during the Windows startup procedure.

In our continuous efforts to create a secure and trustworthy gaming environment, we strongly encourage our users to utilize all native security features that Windows offers, including Secure Boot. By embracing these measures, you can enhance the overall security of your system and contribute to a cheat-free community on Esportal.
