Abstract

See full text

A system for checking the level of system security on a PC platform is disclosed. The system comprises of a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) unit. The RFID unit scans a PC platform and extracts relevant security information from its Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). The extracted information is analyzed by a data processing system connected to the RFID unit to determine if the security access available on the PC platform is adequate. A threshold adequacy level is established by a system manager. When the security on the PC is inadequate, a signal is generated to alert the network manager and/or the user of the PC to upgrade the PC's security.
