Episode description

Eclypsium researchers identified vulnerabilities affecting the BIOSConnect feature within Dell Client BIOS. This disconnect impacted 129 Dell models of consumer and business laptops, desktops, and tablets, including devices protected by Secure Boot and Dell Secured-core PCs. With cyber-attacks on the rise, firmware security, while often overlooked, might be the next battleground for attackers who continue to target enterprise VPNs and other network devices.
