Dell’s Business Laptops and Tablets will get an additional layer of protection from hackers with a new tool which will be pre-loaded into the Dell’s portable computers.

This new security tool introduced by Dell highly focuses on safeguarding the boot layer in order to protect PC hardware and software from malfunctioning. It secures the low level UEFI (abbreviated as Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) which stand in a protected layer above the operating system. This new tool makes a copy of the clean UEFI which is placed in the cloud and differentiates this snapshot with computer’s UEFI, every time it boots. In case, there is hacking attempt, there will be a conflict between the two which the comparison will flag up.
