As a reminder, the AMI BIOS itself doesn't matter, but yes the manufacturer, the model range and motherboard review. Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI), the successor of BIOS, resolves many PC BIOS limitations and is rapidly becoming more widely used. The BIOS initializes the hardware and then starts the operating system. Firmware attacks are much more dangerous than OS-based attacks because firmware is invisible to OS-based security solutions.ĪMI’s Zero Trust firmware security solutions can help maintain firmware integrity and strengthen organizations’ Zero trust strategy. The most important step is to download the appropriate updates. BIOS, the basic input/output system, is a piece of software built into the PC motherboard, which gets executed at bootup.

But without secure firmware running on the infrastructure, Zero Trust strategy weakens significantly.įrom your car to airport kiosks and power grids, nearly all technology is powered by firmware and for that reason, firmware attacks are on the rise. Zero Trust security is essential for protecting an organization’s infrastructure and business critical data in today’s digital transformation.
