We all depend on computing infrastructure and suffer major disruptions to our business if it becomes unavailable. By using the tools meant to manage these servers, attackers can take advantage of these issues to permanently brick the hardware across entire data centers. Once firmware is corrupted, most organizations are unable to recover the system. Research in these threats shows how to scan for vulnerabilities in subsystems like BMC. At minimum it is important that organizations establish processes for regular firmware updates, ensure regular scans for vulnerabilities and monitor critical firmware for malicious modifications.”]
