Edge/cloud reversal security check

Abstract

A method for an edge system/cloud reverse security check includes establishing a secure connection between a BMC of an edge server and management software of a remote management server. The management software manages the edge server through the BMC. The method includes receiving a unique user identifier and a public key from the management software. The method includes transmitting, from the BMC to a safety check module located on the management server, a request for information and transmitting, over the secure connection, the same request for information to the management software. The method includes receiving a safety check response from the safety check module and a management software response from the management software, comparing the safety check response and the management software response, and sending an alert signaling a security breach at the management software in response to the safety check response differing from the management software response.
