    Hi All,

    NSA and CISA just published Harden Baseboard Management Controllers

    Baseboard management controllers (BMCs) are trusted components designed into a computer's hardware that operate separately from the operating system and firmware to allow for remote management and control, even when the system is shut down. This Cybersecurity Information Sheet (CSI), authored by the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), highlights threats to BMCs and details actions organizations can use to harden them. NSA and CISA encourage all organizations managing relevant servers to apply the recommended actions in this CSI.
