Silicon Root of Trust · The Root of Trust is a security concept that initiates a chain of trust to ensure that computers boot with legitimate code. · The Silicon Root of Trust extends this by embedding a "digital fingerprint" in the silicon chip of a server's hardware to verify the integrity of firmware. · This fingerprint is immutable and detects any tampering, disabling the server if malicious code is detected to prevent it from running. · If the Root of Trust is validated, the rest of the BIOS modules are validated through a chain of trust procedure until control is transferred to the operating system or hypervisor. Test your knowledge: Which principle(s) of the CIA triad are addressed by Silicon Root of Trust – confidentiality, integrity, availability?

A record label's newly created synthesizer software has been deployed to the sound engineers in the music department. The lead producer has asked whether the software can be upgraded to import .WAV files in a compressed format. The developers stated it would be simple and quick to do. They will deploy an upgrade with the ability to compress .WAV files in the next software release schedule, pending approval. Twenty hours after the new software upgrade, the synth program started locking up the media server whenever attempting to import .WAV files. The server became accessible only after the security administrator performed an emergency system restart.Which due care measure should have been performed first?
