For every competitive multiplayer game, cheating and exploitation are important realities to deal with. Games aside, Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 are Windows 11 requirements that improve the security of your system, and there is no downside to enabling them if possible.

Highguard does not leverage these technologies to acquire any information not strictly needed to run the game. Your privacy and data rights are important to us. Like you, we also wouldnʼt want games to scrape and abuse our data. Together, Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 are leveraged so that for the information that is needed about your system, we can be assured that the machine isnʼt lying to us. Having a guarantee that all drivers installed are signed by trusted manufactures and that the hardware configuration isnʼt spoofed is a powerful guarantee. We arenʼt getting new information – weʼre getting verified information, which in the world of anti-cheat is a big deal.
