FirmGuard enhances technician efficiency and strengthens endpoint security, turning it into a profit center for MSPs by addressing remote BIOS management related activities.
MSPs looking to offer compliance services should begin by understanding their clients’ specific needs and identifying relevant standards, such as NIST SP-800-88 for media sanitization. By providing services like endpoint erasure, MSPs can help clients safely dispose of sensitive data, offering a compliant and valuable solution.
In August 2012, Saudi Aramco experienced a massive cyberattack through the Shamoon virus, which exploited BIOS firmware vulnerabilities to render 35,000 endpoints useless, highlighting the critical need for firmware security solutions like FirmGuard.
SecureWipe by FirmGuard is the best choice for endpoint data erasure, offering a balanced solution that supports critical use cases like stolen devices, without the compromises of Windows Reset or physical destruction.
UEFI BIOS firmware attacks, such as BlackLotus, pose serious threats by bypassing Windows Secure Boot and allowing rogue operating systems to launch, compromising endpoints. FirmGuard can detect these issues and alert MSP admins, who can then take corrective action before any damage occurs.
The US government warned the IT industry about UEFI firmware-based attacks via a CISA blog post. UEFI, a critical BIOS firmware in devices, can be exploited for persistent access by attackers. This malware can survive resets and hard drive replacements, posing a severe threat.
