Abstract:
Examples associated with storage monitoring are described. One example system includes generating an encryption key and transmitting the encryption key to a basic input/output system (BIOS) security module. The BIOS security module uses the encryption key as a basis for a heartbeat. A provisioning module receives a signal identifying a monitored storage and generates an enforced storage associated with the monitored storage. The provisioning module also creates a manifest describing the relationship between the enforced storage and the monitored storage. The provisioning module transmits the manifest to the BIOS security module. A versioning module assigns a first access policy for the monitored storage and a second access policy to the enforced storage based on the manifest. The versioning module performs versioning for the monitored storage using the enforced storage, and periodically verifies operation to the BIOS security module using the heartbeat.
