An information handling system with improved data security has a signal detector circuit to receive a signal interrupt from a plurality of signal interrupt sources, and an authentication timer circuit that starts measuring a configured time duration based upon the received signal interrupt. A scrambler module initiates data scrambling upon completion of the configured time duration.

Apparatus and method for improving data security

A method includes booting an information handling system, starting a BIOS on the information handling system, storing configuration information for the information handling system, retrieving, by an operating system (OS) loader, the configuration information, determining, by the OS boot manager, that a configuration of the information handling system indicated by the configuration information is incompatible with an OS loaded on the information handling system by the OS boot manager, determining, by the OS boot manager, that the incompatibility can be mitigated by changing a setting of the information handling system, changing, by the OS boot manager, the setting in response to determining that the incompatibility can be mitigated, and launching, by the OS boot manager, the OS in response to changing the setting.
