What happened and what to do

Published on June 5, 2026, the article presents attack surfaces, vulnerability detection techniques, and defenses related to firmware, operating systems, and monolithic bootloaders. Its overview can support risk and defense assessments across different boot architectures.

A company can apply this approach by diagnosing its startup components and processes, documenting risks, and defining security and monitoring controls suited to its architecture. This calls for security engineering, not necessarily an AI project.
