Streamline Endpoint Security And Manageability With Blobs
Dell News, February 7th, 2023
Struggling to manage your endpoints? Using BLOBs, Dell helps configure BIOS settings and set a unique password.
As an IT manager with hundreds or thousands of end users who rely on their laptops to get their job done, have you ever struggled to ensure everyone's devices are secure and up to date? Configuring and managing BIOS can be an especially difficult task, but one that's increasingly important. In fact, setting and maintaining a unique BIOS password on each device is one of the best ways to ensure that it can't be tampered with accidentally, or even hacked. Dell has worked with Microsoft to develop a capability that allows you to manage and configure BIOS quickly, easily and natively within Intune using BLOBs.
BLOB stands for Binary Large Object and is a storage option for any type of data you want to retain in a binary format. It has the flexibility to store data for any type of application. In this case, BLOBs make it easy for IT to perform two important tasks: Configuring and updating BIOS settings for Dell devices with zero touch and setting and maintaining secure passwords that are unique to each device.
