說明

Dell Trusted Device (formerly Dell BIOS Verification) is part of the Dell SafeBIOS product portfolio. The Dell Trusted Device agent includes BIOS Verification, Image Capture, and BIOS Events & Indicators of Attack. BIOS Verification provides customers with affirmation that devices are secured below the operating system, a place where IT administrator visibility is lacking. It enables customers to verify BIOS integrity using an off-host process without interrupting the boot process. After the Dell Trusted Device agent runs on the endpoint, a pass or fail result (0 or 1) displays in some of these locations:

  • Web browser
  • Command line
  • Registry entry
  • Event Viewer
  • Logs BIOS

Events & Indicators of Attack enables administrators to analyze events in the Windows Event Viewer that may indicate bad actors targeting BIOS on enterprise endpoints. Bad actors change BIOS attributes to gain access to enterprise computers locally or remotely. These attack vectors can be monitored and then mitigated through the BIOS Events & Indicators of Attack features' ability to monitor BIOS attributes.

The earliest version of the agent, Dell BIOS Verification, performed off-host comparisons of the local BIOS to a known-good BIOS from Dell.
