Abstract
Systems and methods update firmware during authentication of a hardware component of an IHS (Information Handling System), where firmware updates are managed by a remote access controller that provides remote management of the IHS. The remote access controller calculates a measurement based on firmware loaded for use by a hardware component of the IHS. Based on the measurement, an integrity of the firmware loaded for use by the hardware component is validated against a reference signature. When the integrity of the firmware is not validated, the hardware component is quarantined. When the integrity of the firmware is successfully validated, the remote access controller determines whether a firmware update is required for the firmware loaded by the hardware component. When a firmware update is required, an integrity of the updated firmware is validated, the updated firmware is loaded by the hardware component and further initialization of the hardware component is allowed.
