Dell introduced today a new security offering designed to help protect PCs from cyber attacks at the BIOS level. The company notes that cybercriminals are "altering their attack methods to compromise endpoints and access critical data" as more people are increasingly resorting to the work-from-home program due to coronavirus-related concerns.

To beef up endpoint security, Dell's new SafeBIOS Events and Indicators of Attack (IoA) provides security organizations the ability to check the security status of the PCs of their employees by detecting changes in BIOS configurations, which will indicate potential attacks. The tool uses a behavior-based system for advanced endpoint threat detection.
