Endpoint Security: Is It Time to Bid Goodbye to BIOS and Embrace UEFI?

The concept of the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) and the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) were introduced in 1981. These concepts were farfetched then because at the time very few people perceived any security threats that could have infected BIOS. BIOS is a de facto standard-defining firmware interface built into IBM-compatible PCs and servers. A stronger, more secure BIOS is the foundation of computer and endpoint security as well as greater trust within a computer system.”]
