Hardware-based security refers to protective measures built directly into computer hardware components like CPUs and chipsets, rather than relying solely on software applications. This approach operates at the silicon level, creating security controls that function independently of the operating system and applications running above them.
Organizations looking to take full advantage of hardware based security must have a comprehensive understanding of the hardware in use, its capabilities and its configuration. Most MDM/Endpoint Management tools do not include the depth of visibility required to ensure optimal hardware security.
Prelude Monitor provides integrations which allow an organization to easily and effectively inventory deployed hardware for security capabilities and configurations.
