    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 for providing a seamless and secure motherboard replacement system and method are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions that, upon execution, cause the IHS to when a previous motherboard is replaced with a replacement motherboard; detect that the previous motherboard has been replaced with the replacement motherboard, access context data associated with the previous motherboard from a storage unit configured in the IHS, the context data comprising configuration settings of the previous motherboard, and update the replacement motherboard according to the stored context information.

    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: 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.
