Abstract
Methods and systems for managing tampering detection for endpoint devices are disclosed. To manage tampering detection, an endpoint device may include an out of band management controller. The management controller may configure a tamper detection device to monitor communications to and from hardware components of hardware resources of the endpoint device while the management controller is inactive. The tamper detection device may compare characteristics of monitored communications to tampering alert criteria and may generate a tampering alert if the monitored communications meet at least a portion of the tampering alert criteria. The tampering alert may initiate interruption of at least the unexpected communication and performance of an action set to remediate an impact of the unexpected communication.
