This talk is a discussion about low-level remote management systems and protocols; how even with the best security on our systems, and inside our VMs, out-of-band management interfaces often remain unprotected, unpatched, and unmonitored. All while being connected in some cases directly to the Internet. EDR does nothing if a threat actor can re-initialize the RAID array your VMs are stored on.
