The Operating System (OS) is usually being checked for threats after the entire operating system starts and connects to the file system. This compromises the device’s security, as malicious files could have been introduced to the file system while it was off. How do you eliminate this type of vulnerability, especially for industries where security is vital, such as Military, Banking, Medical, Civil State services, etc.? Scan the files and operating system before it even starts!

Mounting and Scanning File System in pre-OS

What is UEFI

UEFI is the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, which was created by Microsoft to replace BIOS, and defines the layer between the device firmware and the operating system. UEFI is compatible with Itanium, x86, x86-64, ARM and ARM64 processors, but faces a lack of interoperability with currently existing file systems. Therefore, it creates a wide exploitation opportunity for malicious intruders.

Secure NTFS Mounting to UEFI

To provide your device with optimal security, special technology has been developed that scans the file system under UEFI to make sure the files haven’t been previously altered. To do this, the file system needs to be mounted under UEFI, and this is where Microsoft NTFS for UEFI file system driver by Paragon Software is needed.
