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.
