Dell SafeBIOS Events & Indicators of Attack (IoA) is available immediately worldwide for Dell commercial PCs as part of the company’s Trusted Device solution. Dell told SecurityWeek that SafeBIOS Events & IoA can be downloaded by customers free of charge.

SafeBIOS Events & IoA is designed to identify endpoint threats at the BIOS level by using behavior-based detection technology. The utility monitors the BIOS for any configuration changes and analyzes them to determine if they could be part of an attack.

“Securing the BIOS is particularly critical because a compromised BIOS can potentially provide an attacker with access to all data on the endpoint, including high-value targets like credentials. [...]”
This is not the first enhancement made by Dell to its SafeBIOS product. Last year, it announced a new utility for off-host BIOS verification, resulting from integrations with CrowdStrike, VMware and Secureworks technology.
