Ready BIOS for
Device Guard
Use
Action
Ready BIOS for Device Guard Use includes a drop-down box that
automatically configures the BIOS settings that Windows requires to
enable Device Guard, or to change the configuration back to the
configuration before Device Guard was enabled. Device Guard is a
Windows feature that enables higher security around drivers and
BIOS behavior.
The following settings are possible:
• Configure on Next Boot
• Clear Configuration on Next Boot
When set to Configure on Next Boot, the BIOS changes the following
settings to the states required by Device Guard after saving changes
and exit.
• Virtualization features are enabled.
• Removable and network boot devices are disabled (for
example, USB boot, CD-ROM boot, Thunderbolt™ boot,
etc.).
• MS UEFI CA Key is disabled.
When set to Clear Configuration on Next Boot, the BIOS sets the
listed features to their Custom Default state if custom defaults have
been saved. If custom defaults have not been saved, the BIOS
restores the listed features to their factory default states.
4.6 Secure Platform Management (SPM)
This submenu controls settings for Secure Platform Management that are used for secure enablement and management of
the HP Sure Run, Sure Recover, and Sure Admin (Enhanced BIOS Authentication Mode) capabilities.
You cannot provision SPM and activate HP Sure Run directly from the BIOS Setup interface. You can provision SPM using HP
Client Security Manager Software or the HP Manageability Integration Kit. When provisioned, the controls in this menu can
be used to deprovision the system or deactivate HP Sure Run.
