Abstract: Systems and methods support collection of validated telemetry by an Information Handling System (IHS). A policy decision point (PDP) of a zero-trust computing environment controls access to protected resources The PDP identifies a telemetry stream of the IHS to be validated and identifies a telemetry definition specifying telemetry being collected by the IHS.

The IHS identifies telemetry that is ready for transmission and, based on the updated telemetry definition received from the policy decision point, generates a digital signature that authenticates the telemetry that is ready for transmission. The authenticated telemetry is transmitted to one or more destinations specified in the updated telemetry definition.

Abstract: Information Handling Systems (IHSs) support pre-boot telemetry for use in a zero-trust environment. A pre-boot telemetry orchestrator of the IHS retrieves a factory-provisioned resource locator of a service that provides a location of a policy decision point of the zero-trust environment. The pre-boot telemetry orchestrator establishes an encrypted session with the policy decision point that is located using the factory-provisioned resource locator. Via the encrypted session, the pre-boot telemetry orchestrator receives a telemetry definition specifying pre-boot telemetry to be collected by the IHS. Th telemetry is collected and transmitted during the pre-boot intervals according to the telemetry definition.

Abstract: Systems and methods provided adaptive collection of telemetry. A policy decision point of a zero-trust computing environment receives an indication of a change in risk posture within the environment. The policy decision point identifies a telemetry definition specifying telemetry being collected by one or more IHSs that are currently accessing a protected resource of the zero-trust computing environment. The telemetry definition is updated to specify adjusted telemetry to be collected by an IHS that is currently accessing the protected resource and the updated telemetry definition is transmitted to the IHS. Based on the updated telemetry definition received from the policy decision point, the IHS adjust measurements by one or more of the sensors of the IHS. Telemetry generated based on the adjusted measurements is transmitted by the IHS to one or more destinations specified in the updated telemetry definition.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide synchronized collection of telemetry by an Information Handling System (IHS) operating in a zero-trust computing environment. Telemetry is identified that is ready for transmission by the IHS. A policy decision point of the zero-trust computing environment is notified of the identified telemetry that is ready for transmission by the IHS. The IHS receives a counter from the policy decision point for ordering the telemetry that is ready for transmission within the telemetry of the zero-trust computing environment. The telemetry is annotated with the counter that is received from the policy decision point. The transmitted telemetry may then be sequenced with all other telemetry generated in the zero-trust computing environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide adaptive collection of telemetry. A telemetry orchestrator of a IHS (Information Handling System) collects telemetry related to a session used by the IHS to access a protected resource of a zero-trust environment, where the telemetry is collected based on a telemetry definition received from a policy decision point of the zero-trust environment. The telemetry orchestrator of the IHS monitors for updates to the telemetry definition, where the updates are generated by the policy decision point of the zero-trust environment. The telemetry orchestrator adjusts measurements by one or more of the sensors of the IHS based on updates to the telemetry definition received from the policy decision point. Telemetry that is generated based on the adjusted measurements is transmitted by the telemetry orchestrator to one or more destinations specified in the update telemetry definition.

Abstract: Systems and methods support collection of telemetry by an Information Handling System (IHS). A policy decision point of a zero-trust computing environment controls access to protected resources and receives an indication of attack related to the IHS. A telemetry definition is identified that specifies telemetry being collected by the IHS and it is updated to specify a security delay for telemetry related to the indication of attack. The updated telemetry definition is transmitted to the IHS. Upon identifying telemetry that is ready for transmission, the IHS determines whether the telemetry is subject to a security delay specified in the updated telemetry definition. When the telemetry is subject to a security delay, the telemetry that is ready for transmission is queued and transmitted to one or more destinations specified in the updated telemetry definition upon expiration of the security delay.
