  • Patent number: 10949540
    Abstract: An information handling system (IHS) includes a memory having a BIOS, at least one sensor that generates security related data for the IHS, a controller, and one or more I/O drivers. The memory, at least one sensor and controller operate within a secure environment of the IHS; the I/O driver(s) operate outside of the secure environment. The controller includes a security policy management engine, which is executable during runtime of the IHS to continuously monitor security related data generated by the at least one sensor, determine whether the security related data violates at least one security policy rule specified for the IHS, and provide a notification of security policy violation to the BIOS, if the security related data violates at least one security policy rule. The I/O driver(s) include a security enforcement engine, which is executable to receive the notification of security policy violation from the BIOS, and perform at least one security measure in response thereto.

  • Patent number: 10944794
    Abstract: A system is disclosed herein including a plurality of information handling systems (IHSs) coupled to and managed by a remote management system (RMS). According to one embodiment, each IHS may be configured to monitor data pertaining to the IHS, determine if the data triggers one or more events, and transmit a notification to the RMS if one or more events are triggered. The RMS may be configured to receive a notification transmitted from at least one IHS, select a policy to be applied to one or more of the IHSs based on the received notification, and transmit the selected policy to the one or more IHS s. The one or more IHSs may be further configured to receive the selected policy from the RMS, store the selected policy, and perform actions specified by the selected policy when policy rules specified by the selected policy are violated.

  • Patent number: 10855619
    Abstract: Systems and methods adjust workspaces based on available hardware resource of an IHS (Information Handling System) by which a user operates a workspace supported by a remote orchestration service. A security context and a productivity context of the IHS are determined based on reported context information. A workspace definition for providing access to a managed resource is selected based on the security context and the productivity context. A notification specifies a hardware resource of the IHS that is not used by the workspace definition, such as a microphone or camera that has not been enabled for use by workspaces. A productivity improvement that results from the updated productivity context that includes use of the first hardware resource is determined. Based on the productivity improvement, an updated workspace definition is selected that includes use of the first hardware resource in providing access to the managed resource via the IHS.

  • Patent number: 10846408
    Abstract: A secured virtual environment provides access to enterprise data and may be configured remotely while isolated from the operating system of an Information Handling System (IHS). In secured booting of the IHS, references signatures are received via an out-of-band connection to the IHS. The reference signatures specify reference states for components of the IHS. Prior to launching a secured virtual environment, a trusted resource of the IHS, such as embedded controller isolated from the operating system, is queried for updated signatures specifying operating states of the component. The integrity of the IHS is validated based on comparisons of the respective reference signatures and updated signatures. If the integrity of the IHS is validated, a secured virtual environment is configured such that particular user may access the enterprise data according to applicable policies that may be periodically revalidated. The secured virtual environment may then be launched on the IHS.

  • Patent number: 10735683
    Abstract: A low-power image sensor includes a plurality of light-sensitive pixel cells, a plurality of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and image processing circuitry. The image sensor can be disposed in multiple semiconductor layers such that the pixel cells are disposed in a first layer and various other components are disposed in the second layer or between the first layer and the second layer. The image sensor is configured such that the analog output of a pixel cell is sampled by a first ADC and a second ADC within respective first and second dynamic ranges, the second dynamic range being greater than the first dynamic range. The first ADC and the second ADC sample the analog output with different sampling resolutions. The digital outputs of the first ADC and the second ADC are subsequently used by an image processor to generate a pixel value for an image frame.
