Abstract
A secured virtual environment provides access to enterprise data and may be configured remotely while isolated from the operating system of an Information Handling System (IHS). In secured booting of the IHS, references signatures are received via an out-of-band connection to the IHS. The reference signatures specify reference states for components of the IHS. Prior to launching a secured virtual environment, a trusted resource of the IHS, such as embedded controller isolated from the operating system, is queried for updated signatures specifying operating states of the component. The integrity of the IHS is validated based on comparisons of the respective reference signatures and updated signatures. If the integrity of the IHS is validated, a secured virtual environment is configured such that particular user may access the enterprise data according to applicable policies that may be periodically revalidated. The secured virtual environment may then be launched on the IHS.
