According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a first memory, a signal generation unit, an integrity check unit, and an access-right update unit. Firmware is stored in the first memory. The signal generation unit is configured to generate a signal when there is access violating access right, to the first memory. The integrity check unit is configured to perform, when the access violating access right is a verification request with respect to a predetermined verification target region, integrity check with respect to the verification target region in response to the signal. The access-right update unit is configured to update access right corresponding to the verification target region, to which the integrity check has been performed.
