This episode covers hardware-level security measures that prevent unauthorized use or modification of server systems. We explain how to disable unused physical ports, set administrative BIOS passwords, and configure boot order to restrict booting from external media. These measures reduce the risk of unauthorized device access or operating system bypass attacks.

Practical examples include locking down USB ports to prevent unauthorized data transfers or setting BIOS passwords to stop changes to system hardware settings. Troubleshooting considerations involve managing secure BIOS resets for legitimate maintenance and ensuring hardware settings align with organizational security policies. Mastery of hardware hardening concepts ensures candidates can protect systems from threats that bypass software-based defenses. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber prepcasts, books, and information to strengthen your certification path.
