Endpoint Security for Enterprises_
Protect laptops, workstations, and desktops from firmware attacks and ransomware targeting your endpoints.
Why Is Endpoint Security Urgent Now?
Endpoints such as laptops and workstations have long been targeted by cyberattacks as an initial intrusion vector. This has driven development of highly effective security measures, including Endpoint Detection and Response. It is harder and harder to compromise an endpoint through the usual ways. So attackers are systematically moving below the operating system, targeting firmware that traditional security tools cannot see.
TrickBot, one of the most common forms of malware and a key enabler of ransomware, has added functionality to automatically scan devices for vulnerabilities at the firmware level.
HybridPetya, a new ransomware variant, added a UEFI bootkit to its toolset to evade secure boot and establish persistence below the operating system, where EDR won’t catch it.
BootKitty was the first Linux Bootkit. Released in 2025, this bootkit brings UEFI and Secure Boot evasion to a broad swath of Linux based devices, where EDR is notoriously less effective.
As endpoint protection improves at the OS level, Eclypsium provides defenders with visibility and protection for the firmware layer that attackers exploit.

Eclypsium Protects Endpoint Infrastructure Against Attack_
Unlike EDR and legacy vulnerability management tools, Eclypsium provides continuous firmware-level security monitoring for endpoints without compromising performance. Our platform covers every major endpoint vendor, providing a single SaaS solution to discover, assess, and protect laptops, workstations, and desktops across your distributed workforce.
Automated Discovery and Inventory
Establish continuous visibility into the firmware, hardware configuration, and components within all endpoint devices, including remote and BYOD assets.
Vulnerability and Exposure Management
Continuously scan for firmware vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that EDR and traditional scanners miss.
Integrity Monitoring and Threat Detection
Detect compromised firmware, rootkits, bootkits, and backdoors that persist below the operating system.
Automated Firmware Updates
Reduce exposure windows by remotely patching firmware across your endpoint fleet.

Why Attackers Target Endpoints
Endpoints offer attackers the perfect entry point into enterprise networks. These devices contain valuable data, connect to critical systems, and often travel outside corporate security perimeters, making them ideal targets for ransomware operators and APT groups. This is why the U.S. Criminal Justice Information Service (CJIS) legally requires endpoints that access sensitive criminal justice data to be protected at the firmware level. But it isn’t just law enforcement that’s vulnerable to firmware attacks.

Direct Access to User Credentials
Endpoints store authentication tokens, cached credentials, and browser passwords. BlackLotus bootkit can bypass Secure Boot protections and give attackers virtually unlimited control and persistence within a device. Modern firmware attacks capture credentials before security software loads, making detection nearly impossible.
Perfect Launch Point for Lateral Movement
Once compromised at the firmware level, endpoints become invisible staging points for network infiltration. TrickBot specializes in persistence and lateral movement and is an enabler for a wide range of other malware such as Conti and Ryuk ransomware. Attackers leverage firmware persistence to maintain access even after OS reinstallation.
Invisible to Traditional Security Tools
Firmware operates below the OS where EDR agents cannot monitor. UEFI firmware bootkits like BlackLotus and CosmicStrand stay on the victim’s machine even if the operating system is rebooted or Windows is reinstalled. Most organizations lack visibility into this attack surface, unable to determine whether firmware is vulnerable to known threats, much less detect a hidden implant or backdoor.

Why Endpoint Firmware Attacks Are Hard to Defend
Endpoint security faces unique challenges that traditional security approaches weren’t designed to handle. The firmware layer requires specialized tools and expertise that most organizations lack.
Security Tool Blind Spots
Endpoints run complex firmware stacks including UEFI/BIOS, Intel Management Engine, and component firmware that EDR cannot monitor. Traditional antivirus solutions, endpoint detection and response (EDR) platforms, and even advanced threat hunting tools typically operate at the OS level or higher. Without firmware visibility, security teams miss critical threats.
Eclypsium provides deep visibility into all firmware components to detect threats EDR can’t see.
Slow Recovery Cycles
Firmware compromise requires more than reimaging. Even if you reinstall Windows on an infected endpoint or swap out the hard drive, the UEFI firmware sits in its own dedicated flash memory on the motherboard. Recovery requires firmware reflashing or hardware replacement, extending downtime.
Eclypsium automates firmware recovery and validates device integrity before returning to service.
Supply Chain Complexity Introduces Risk
The vulnerabilities in an endpoint may be introduced anywhere in the supply chain, a Government Accountability Office report found that a single Dell laptop had a supply chain spanning dozens of factories and hundreds of suppliers. If a single component is accidentally or intentionally compromised, that can place entire enterprises at risk.
How Eclypsium Stops Endpoint Attacks_
Identify and Inventory
Get complete visibility into firmware and hardware components across your endpoint fleet. Discover firmware versions, identify vulnerable systems, and track security configurations. Validate device integrity during procurement, deployment, and throughout the operational lifecycle.
Verify and Validate
Confirm endpoints haven’t been compromised at the firmware level. Compare actual firmware against vendor-published baselines to detect malicious modifications, rootkits, and persistence mechanisms. Identify misconfigurations that leave devices vulnerable.
Fortify and Harden
Assess endpoint firmware for security weaknesses and outdated versions. Identify disabled security features like Secure Boot. Automatically update firmware across your fleet to close vulnerability windows before attackers exploit them.
Detect Known and Unknown Threats
Identify active firmware-level compromises including bootkits, implants, and backdoors. Eclypsium has a unique database of over 12 million known good firmware hashes, enabling comprehensive supply chain verification. Behavioral monitoring detects unknown threats and supply chain tampering.
