BMC Firmware Security

The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) provides remote access to multiple users at different locations for networking. BMC allows a system administrator to monitor system health and manage computer events remotely. BMC is used with an (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) IPMI Management utility which makes it possible to control and monitor servers centrally. BMC has a wide range of security features that address customer requirements.
