Abstract: An information handling system has a storage device including a telemetry log, a BIOS configured to provide BIOS status data and BIOS security data, an OS configured to provide OS status data and OS security data, and a security management module. The security management module determines whether the information handling system is in a low-threat state or a high-threat state. When the information handling system is in the low-threat state, the security management module directs the BIOS to store the BIOS status data to the telemetry log and the OS to store the OS status data to the telemetry log. When the information handling system is in the high-threat state, the security management module directs at least one of the BIOS to store the BIOS security data and the OS to store the OS security data.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to perform BIOS recovery for a first information handling system that is in a no-boot state, i.e., in which the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) boot block (OBB) on the first information handling system is corrupted or damaged and thus does not properly execute. OBB BIOS recovery may be achieved using logic executing on a second and different information handling system that is wirelessly communicating with initial boot block (IBB) BIOS firmware that is executing on the first information handling system. The logic executing on the second information handling system may select and download (e.g., from a remote server) a correct uncorrupted and undamaged copy of the BIOS recovery firmware version for the first information handling system, and then wirelessly transfer the downloaded new copy of the OBB BIOS firmware version to the first information handling system via an established secure wireless connection.

Abstract: If a critical event occurs during a boot process, an information handling system may analyze firmware associated with the critical event to determine whether the firmware is unified extensible firmware interface compliant. In response to determining that the firmware is not unified extensible firmware interface compliant, the system may retrieve a rule associated with the firmware, and apply one or more actions to the information handling system based on the rule.

Abstract: An information handling system includes an embedded controller and a memory device storing code that when executed causes the embedded controller to perform operations that includes receiving a request to change a security setting, determining a security policy associated with the security setting, and determining whether the change to the security setting deviates from the security policy. In addition, the embedded controller in response to determining that the change to the security setting deviates from the security policy, denying the request and reverting the change to the security setting.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing communications is disclosed. A host device and a management controller may communicate via memory mapped communications using shared memory. To improve the security of the memory mapped communications, access requests for shared memory may be monitored. Access controls for the shared memory may be put in place to reduce the likelihood of data being made unavailable before it is processed. The access controls may be lifted when the data stored in shared memory has been read by to complete the memory mapped communications.

Abstract: An information handling system may include at least one processor, a physical storage resource, and a non-volatile memory other than the physical storage resource. The at least one processor may be configured to execute instructions for: storing learned profile data at the physical storage resource; in response to detection of a catastrophic event, copying the learned profile data from the physical storage resource to the non-volatile memory; and subsequent to a remediation event for the catastrophic event, restoring the learned profile data from the non-volatile memory.

Abstract: A method may include during a Pre-Extensible Firmware Interface Initialization phase of a BIOS, receiving a mailbox command from a management controller of an information handling system, the mailbox command including information regarding a driver image stored in computer-readable media associated with the BIOS, the information including uniquely-identifying information for the driver image. The method may also include, during a Driver Execution Environment phase of the BIOS, locating the driver image stored in the computer-readable media, verifying the driver image based on the information from the mailbox command, extracting the driver image from the computer-readable media in response to verifying the driver image, and causing a driver stored within the driver image to load and execute during BIOS execution.
