Host hardware must enable Intel TXT, if available

MoyenneNiveau 1Revue manuellevmware

Description

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.

If TXT is supported but not enabled, the host is not compliant.
