Just enter a username and password but that simplicity is misleading.

ROOTKIT VS BOOTKIT Your antivirus wakes up after the attack. A bootkit already owns the machine before the OS even starts. That single difference decides everything: 🔹 Malware gets detected 🔹 Or it’s never seen at all Rootkits hide inside the system. Bootkits rewrite trust itself. If you still believe “endpoint security” starts at login… you’re already too late. 🛡 Real security begins before the operating system does.
