AGENT PRESENCE FOR SELF-HEALING

摘要

In one or more examples, there is disclosed a system and method of detecting agent presence for self-healing. An out-of-band monitoring process, such as Intel® AMT, or any process in firmware executing on a co-processor, may monitor one or more processes to determine if one goes down or otherwise meets a security criterion. Crashed processes may be reported to an enterprise security controller (ESC). The ESC may notice trends among affected machines and instruct the machines to take appropriate remedial action, such as booting from a remedial image.
