VMware ESXi
TMA-ESXI9-1.3
Host hardware must enable Intel TXT, if available
Descripción
Intel Xeon Scalable Processor platforms have Trusted Execution Technology, or TXT, that help harden systems against malware, rootkits, BIOS & firmware attacks, and more. When enabled, ESXi will take advantage of security benefits offered by this technology. Manual review: the check needs vCenter/PowerCLI, firmware or guest access, or an organization-specific value.
