Aspects of the present invention provide the ability to enforce access methods on data based upon a policy or policies identified within the metadata of a file. The data is self-protected by including or being wrapped with one or more policy/rule identifiers that act as a form of body armor to the data when in transit or in different situations. In embodiments, access is only granted upon successful authentication and compliance with the identified policy or policies. In embodiments, depending upon the conditions and policies, varying level access may be granted. In embodiments, depending upon the conditions and policies, the system may take one or more mitigations or remedial access levels, such as containerizing, sandboxing, granting limited access, or erasing the data.

Platform for adopting settings to secure a protected file

Systems and methods for providing automatic system stop and boot-to-service OS for forensic analysis. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: detect an Indicator of Compromise (IoC); send, to a server, a message including the IoC; receive, from the server, a recovery instruction; and boot into a service OS identified in the recovery instruction, wherein the service OS is distinct from a main OS included in the IHS.

Enforcement mitigations for a protected file

Systems and methods for hardware hardened advanced threat protection are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor; and a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) coupled to the processor, the BIOS having BIOS instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: launch an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) gateway module; and determine, using the EFI gateway module, whether the BIOS instructions include malware.
