Gartner Report: How to Mitigate Firmware Security Risks in Data Centers, and Public and Private Clouds
Per Gartner, “Firmware vulnerability gives attackers entry into systems that is invisible and persistent with total control of the server, storage or network device. I&O leaders must deliver an infrastructure, whether on-site, outsourced or in the public cloud, that is protected from firmware-based attacks.” In this report, Gartner analyst Tony Harvey addresses four key firmware security challenges for infrastructure and operations leaders and provides practical recommendations on how to overcome them.
- Developing the skills to understand firmware threats
- Integrating a firmware update policy into standard procedures
- Securing access to firmware updates
- Including secure firmware requirements in RFPs
