==PRE-BOOT CONTEXT-BASED SECURITY MITIGATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17747647 titled 'PRE-BOOT CONTEXT-BASED SECURITY MITIGATION

==Simplified Explanation==

An information handling system is described in this patent application. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

* The system determines the security status of the system before it boots up.
* It updates a table that contains information about security measures and configurations based on the pre-boot security status.
* The system also updates a security mitigation table based on a security policy.
* It determines the appropriate security measures to apply based on the information in the advanced configuration and power interface mitigation table and the security mitigation table.

Potential applications of this technology:

* This technology can be used in computer systems to enhance security measures during the boot-up process.
* It can be implemented in servers, workstations, or any other information handling system that requires robust security protocols.

Problems solved by this technology:

* The technology addresses the need for a secure boot-up process by determining the security posture of the system before it fully boots up.
* It ensures that appropriate security measures are applied based on the system's security status and a predefined security policy.

Benefits of this technology:

* The system provides an enhanced level of security by updating security configurations and measures based on the pre-boot security posture.
* It allows for a more efficient and effective security mitigation process by considering both the advanced configuration and power interface mitigation table and the security mitigation table.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An information handling system may determine a pre-boot security posture, and update an advanced configuration and power interface mitigation table with the pre-boot security posture. The system may also update a security mitigation table based on a security mitigation policy, and determine a security mitigation based on a protection flag in the advanced configuration and power interface mitigation table and the security mitigation table.
