Dell has recently announced a new BIOS security tool that is specifically aimed at commercial PCs, with the company explaining that such a solution comes in handy especially as more companies have started working remotely.

The so-called Dell SafeBIOS Events & Indicators of Attack (IoA) can detect attacks at BIOS level and help deal with endpoint threats more effectively.

“Organizations need the ability to detect when a malicious actor is on the move, altering BIOS configurations on endpoints as part of a larger attack strategy. SafeBIOS now provides the unique ability to generate Indicators of Attack on BIOS configurations, including changes and events that can signal an exploit,” Dell says.

“When BIOS configuration changes are detected that indicate a potential attack, security and IT teams are quickly alerted in their management consoles, allowing for swift isolation and remediation. SafeBIOS Events & IoA provides IT teams the visibility into BIOS configuration changes and analyzes these for potential threats – even during an ongoing attack.”
