Yep, sic exploit... straight from Black-hat. Basically turning the embedded application in the BIOS on itself, and manipulating it for evil-deeds. If they can do this, then it might be easier to slip a trojan or malware into there application as a advertised fix, and distribute it, thus

+1 on exposing the flawed software that is supposed to provide security and method of recovery but has been manipulated for evil doing, because the software itself was guarded enough with tamper-resistant controls ( digital signatures, hashes, or encryption itself, which allowed the Black hat

What I would suggest doing is have everyone on your team make a list of the tasks they do, each time they do them for a couple weeks. At the end tally it all up and see where you're spending your time and then dedicate time to figuring out how to automate as much as possible of the top tasks.

Yes but your comments are out of context and a distortion. Securnia itself says a link to vulnerabilities is not a good measure without analysis. So merely stating a one line response with a link isn't useful. You could easily do this with virtually any product/vendor, the more visibility the

Right so deploying LUA is a project. Have to separate projects and operations. If you can make operations a small part of your team's days then you have more time for projects. Projects are the fun stuff but ops are what most people measure you by. This is one of those ongoing issues with IT
