Abstract
Techniques are provided for protecting devices having multi-port hardware components. One method comprises obtaining a configuration of a command from a user to an enabled state or a disabled state on a port (e.g., an in-band port or an out-of-band port) of a hardware component of a processing device; automatically sharing credentials of the user with a basic input/output system of the processing device using a secure channel, in response to the obtained configuration; and initiating processing of a given command from a user, associated with a particular port of the hardware component, responsive to an evaluation of the shared user credentials and the given command being in the enabled state on the particular port. Changes with respect to a current enabled state or a current disabled state of a given command may be locked or unlocked.
